Registered Memory
Registered memory modules have built-in registers on their address and control lines.
A register is a very small temporary holding area (usually 64 bits) for data.
These registers act as buffers between the CPU and the memory.
The use of registered memory increases system reliability, but also slows the system down a very slight bit as data must be moved through the registers.
Some systems do not support registered memory, others require registered memory, and many more give you the option to use registered or unregistered memory.
The use of registered memory is recommended for server-class systems. It is not useful on gaming systems.
Registered memory is also known as buffered memory. Unregistered memory is also known as unbuffered memory.

- How to View Registered DLLs
A DLL (Dynamic Link Library) consists of instructions to operate hardware units, system, utility, and application software. A DLL is a type of executable file that cannot be executed manually. Only other executable files such as .exe or .dll can execute it. Typically, Microsoft Operating Systems do not allow users to view .dll files (or [...]...
- ECC Memory
ECC (Error Correction Codes) is a method used to detect and correct errors introduced during data storage or transmission. Certain kinds of RAM chips inside a computer implement this technique to correct data errors and are known as ECC Memory. ECC Memory chips are predominantly used in servers rather than in client computers. Memory errors [...]...
- Memory Stick
A Memory Stick is an IC (Integrated Circuit) which is stored in a compact and rugged plastic enclosure. Memory Sticks are designed to store data and to enable the transfer of data between devices equipped with Memory Stick slots. Normally, Memory Sticks are used as storage media for a portable device, in a form that [...]...
- NVRAM (Non-Volatile Random Access Memory)
NVRAM is an acronym for Non-Volatile Random Access Memory. NVRAM is a type of Random Access Memory (RAM) that retains its information when power is turned off. The NVRAM is a small 24 pin DIP (Dual Inline Package) integrated circuit chip and is thus able to obtain the power needed to keep it running from [...]...
- Device Driver has corrupted the executive memory pool
If you receive an error message which reads: Windows error "Device Driver has corrupted the executive memory pool., it basically means that there is a corruption with a driver somewhere on your system. This issue can occur when an attempt to touch invalid memory at a process IRQL that is too high occurs. This is [...]...
