As far as I understand, the rules are quite easy: - Socket 940 -- Needs registered memory - Socket 754 -- Can use unbuffered memory - Socket 939 -- Can use unbuffered memory And I believe that at least Socket 754 CPU:s actually *requires* unbuffered memory, and can't use registered memory at all. I'm not entirely sure about that, though, and I don't know if Socket 939 CPU:s can use registered memory. -- Thomas Bellman, Lysator Computer Club, Linköping University, Sweden "You are in a twisty little passage of ! bellman @ lysator.liu.se standards, all conflicting." !
