What is the difference between "unbuffered" and "registered"?
Buffered is often used as a synonym for Registered memory.
The addition of a register (buffer) between the memory controller and
the memory chips reduces the bus load. This increases the number of
modules that can be driven. This is why many systems specify unbuffered
and (significantly higher) registered memory capacities.
