SERVER QUESTION: MEMORY TYPES: Registered vs Unregistered??

[specialk0078]

I am looking to buy memory for a server.
Could someone tell me what the difference is between registered and unregistered memory. Thanks.

Only buy registered if your going to be installing 2GB + of RAM.
Registered DIMM's 'prevent' overloading of the memory bus, and hence are more stable in very large amounts. Also slower though.

Does the mobo need to 'support' the register ram?
