    RAM to go with amd 94 fx-53

    yeah its a 940 socket. See the thing is when im ordering the mobo and ram , it doesnt state whether its reg or not. just says the usual stuff. There has been one site which did state it was reg but it wasnt branded. jus said it was a major brand reg ram.

    RAM to go with amd 94 fx-53

    See i know i need registered ram for the cpu and mobo. But very few sites actually tell you whether it is reg or not. Is there another way of finding out if it doesn't tell u in the item description ? iv heard unbuffered ram is best to get for games etc. any idea's ?
