All a64bits must have registered ram?

[Jacobman]

Do all a64bit processors have to have registered ram? I heard something about a new line that wouldnt need registerd ram, is this true? Because i want to get one but do not want to buy new ram also.

untrue.....The FX series requires registered DDR IIRC.

Untrue again.

Only Opterons and the FX-51 need Registered RAM.

Only Opterons and the FX-51 need Registered RAM.

To elaborate on that only socket 940 CPU's need registered ram. socket 754 and 939 A64 run regular DDR memory.

Sweet, you guys are the best now i dont have to buy new ram woohoo!!!!!! So an regular a64 3200 socket 754 can still work with my OCZ ehanced latency ddr400 ram.

...and so can Socket 939. (again, nForce4 is expected in 2 weeks if we're lucky)
