| Hi Folks,
|
| Have been playing about with PC's for 25 years just as a hobby, and am
| completely addicted. I want to buy the Athlon 64 FX53, am ready to order.
| One thing is stopping me and I hope you can help. I haven't a clue what
| registered ram is? It say's in most reviews of the Evesham PC the firm of
| choice, that the registered ram is slow, so, please can you tell me, does
| this defeat the object of playing games for example. I would have my
Choice
| of a very fast CPU fast hard drive etc, but the ram would bring speed down
| to say a XP 2000, do you think Rambus ram could be used with this
| motherboard, just what the eck is registered ram and why is it slow?
| Thanks!!
| Paul.
