Most commonly this has to do with two things: speed and contact material. IE if your MB has gold contacts in the memory sockets, you need gold contacts on the memory modules. Mixing gold and tin/whatever won't work very long. Speed is the other issue. I have seen lots of 60ns SDRAM that won't work at speeds faster than 75ns, for example. As verified on a memory tester. "registered DDR ram" simply means it has been confirmed to work in a particular MB. The inverse is _not_ true. IE that non-registered DDR ram will _not_ work in that MB. It might or might not work. >>Regards >>Jonas
