A fellow techie friend of mine was at my house on friday night and we were playin' around with my gaming PC. FX-55 w/6800 Ultra in SLI. DFI LAN PARTY mobo. Anyway, we were tweaking al kinda of stuff.
When I opened up the case he remarked to me, "Why do you have unbuffered DDR400 with a FX-55?" "You should have registered DDR400 with that CPU." Now, i know what the difference between the two types is, but why would registered be better?" I thought that registered memory gives you much better stability and it's mostly used for highend servers. I also thought that unbuffered memory is much better for preformance. Anyone know?
I also looked on the AMD website and they also said that the FX-55 should be matched up with Registered Memory Modules. It doesn't make much sense to me at this point. I've got 2GIG of Corsair DDR400 XMS Proseries. They are awesome. 2.2.2.5 timings.
Can anyone shed any light on this subject?>
