Hello:
I was just wondering what the difference between registered and unregistered ram was and can i mix the two? I've got an asus cuv4x-d and would like to add a 512 chip but crucial sells only a 512 ecc registered stick. Will mixing registered ecc mess up when combined with 512 of non-ecc unregistered?(i'm guessing yes, but who knows) Thanks!

You cannot use registered and non-registered RAM together. Sorry =( In a nutshell, Registered RAM stays in-sync with the system bus to slightly improve performance. Non-registered doesn't.

You can also gain a lot more info by reading the FAQ at Crucial or Mushkin.
