No Socket 939 system supports registered memory -- and if you do put registered memory on that motherboard, your system will likely refuse to even POST. Registered memory is designed is such a way that disabling the register will disable the entire stick of memory. That memory was designed specifically for the Socket 940 AMD Opteron, Athlon FX-51 and FX-53 processors (but could be used on any system which supports registered DDR400 memory). The Socket 939 systems like yours are designed exclusively for unbuffered (non-registered) memory. To sum it all up: Socket 939 platforms cannot use registered memory at all. Socket 940 platforms require registered memory. The TWINX2048-3200 (without the "RE") is the kit that you would use on your motherboard (Corsair no longer makes unbuffered ECC memory of any type).
