Athlon 64 and Registered memory

[Guest]

Since it's just been my birthday and i have money, Im thinking about
upgrading my computer's processor to an Athlon 64 3400+. I have enough
for the processor and the mobo, but my current RAm (1 gig of OCZ 184-pin
DDR 400mhz unbufferd/non-ECC) is un-registerd and ive read that the
Athlon 64 series likes registered memory. Can i use my old memory with
my new CPU/mobo and if so will i get less performance than with
registred memory and how much more performance.

thanks

Socket 754 doesn't require registered memory. Your mem should work fine as
long as it's up to spec.

The Athlon 64 FX chips require registered memory. You'll be fine running an
Athlon 64 3400+ with your current OCZ.
