genetuck Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Ram-Guy, in answer to a question you said: "AMD 64 Socket 940 MB's will only support registered memory and all other AMD sockets (754 & 939) support only un-buffered." My ECS C51GM-M motherboard is a Socket AM2 for AMD 64 940-pin CPU's. Is that the "AMD Socket 940 MB's" you were talking about......or is there a Socket AM2 and a Socket 940? The motherboard manual specifies un-buffered DIMM's. I have TWIN2X1024-5400C4 memory. Would you recommend this for my motherboard? I wanted faster memory, but Fry's was out at the time. I have had some crashes. I updated the bios, but what seemed to help the most was to replace XP with Vista as the OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Different sockets. Athlon64 socket 754 / 939 (DDR1) use unregistered, Athlon64 socket 940 (DDR1) use registered, Athlon64 Socket AM2 (DDR2, also 940 pin, but not in the same layout) uses unregistered.
