registered/unregistered dimms?

[weazel]

can someone explain the difference between registered and unregistered dimms? I've been seeing both on alot of the online stores but haven't read much about it

The term registered refers to how the memory module processes signals. Registered modules contain a register that delays all information transferred to the module by one clock cycle. This type of memory is primarily used in servers and was designed for modules with 32 or more chips on them to help ensure that data is properly handled.
