So basically, Buffered RAM on the Desktop Sockets infrastructure will not work, but Unbuffered/ECC will with the Xeons E3 - assuming Server Motherboard. I wonder how it is on AMD side. I recall reading around 9 years ago on AMD Forums about a guy that migrated from a Socket 940 Athlon 64 FX-51 to the Socket 939 version of the Athlon 64 FX-53 2) The slowdown from Registered/ECC vs unbuffered is very small in all the comparisons I've seen. About 2% max in a real-world situation. 3) Not sure. ECC SDRAM Guide. ECC or Non-parity? You may have to decide whether you want ECC or non-parity. ECC can find and correct some memory errors, but it comes with a performance price-it will slow your system by about 2%.

Directly connected, unbuffered RAM vs. buffered/registered RAM isn't a case where one is better or worse than the other. They just have different trade-offs in terms of how many memory slots you can have. Registered RAM allows more RAM at the cost of some speed (and possibly expense).

They just have different trade-offs in terms of how many memory slots you can have. Registered RAM allows more RAM at the cost of some speed (and possibly expense). I've seen several different types of ram. There's the standard memory at best buy, ECC unbuffered, ECC buffered, and ECC registered (same thing?) Which of these are compatible? Can I put ECC memory in a non-ECC board? Can I put nECC memory in an ECC board? Can buffered and unbuffered both be

That is completely unrelated. A DC should be virtualized, so the DC does not care what memory it is. Now in the host server, I see ECC as nice to have but no need to, for most servers, then again you usually want to have 2 DCs on 2 different hosts anyways
