Is unbufferred and unregistered RAM the same? What the difference between registered and unregistered? I have seen motherboard spec sheets on the manufacturers websites saying the board supports 2Gb of unregistered RAM or 4Gb of Registered. I know from reading that registered is better than unregistered but dont really know the down dirty of the two.
 
Theses are relevent pages in the Ultimate Memory Guide from Kingston. (A reliable Memory mfg. to buy). The second link below discusses "registered" spcifically:
