This site should tell you all you need to know. Most if not all registered memory comes with ECC (Error Correction Control) which is slower compared to ones without. I'm not sure, but I think that some motherboards don't support registered memory also.

Yes it answered my questions

Gaming Systems: Registered memory not needed, may actually degrade performance slightly.

Servers: ALWAYS use registered memory. Most server boards require it. Plus, it will make it easier to add more memory later.

DDR Systems: Use registered modules if you will be installing more than two DIMMs.

High Performance Workstations: If you want a gigabyte of memory or more in your system, use registered memory (and a board that supports it!).



Question, I’m building a gaming rig with 2 sticks of DDR. What do I use?

My suggestion would be regular unbuffered memory, which is what most companies sell. Registered memory might degrade performance as stated. Unless your planning on getting 1+ gig of memory, it's not needed. Stick with the regular unbuffered memory. It's faster, and more overclocker friendly if you are overclocking the system.
