Buffered and Registered Memory: Is it worth the expense? Hey guys.
As the subject says, I'm pricing up some RAM. I'm looking for 2GB of
PC2-8500 and I'm coming across modules that are either "buffered" or
"unbuffered" and "registered" or "un-registered".
I've found a website that explains what these mean, and it seems to
emphasise that buffered and registered memory is only necessary in:
"servers and other mission-critical systems where it is extremely
important that the data is properly handled."
For an average consumer such as myself, should I save some pennies and
get unbuffered and unregistered RAM, or is their a genuine benefit to me?
Kind Regards,
Matt |
