since im only running 32 bit 2003 i guess its only gonna max at 3.4 something gigs.
but because im only running 2 gigs now i suppose every little bit helps.
i went to purchase some server memory and thought i would buy a couple of fully buffered 2 gig sticks but upon removing the cover of my proliant box and reading the decal it says to install ddr2 unbuffered memory.
what do you suggest.
buffer or unbuffered?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Solution- Unbuffered DDR-1 DIMMs place the load of all the DDR modules on the system memory bus, but they can be used in systems that do not require high memory
capacity.
- Registered DDR-1 DIMMs place only one load per DIMM on the memory bus, regardless of how many SDRAM devices are on the
module. Therefore, these DIMMs are best suited for servers with very high
memory capacities.
Remember DDR2 is modified DDR1 so this should also apply to DDR2.

Re: to buffer or non buffer
so basically your saying because im only running a 32 bit system it really doesnt matter whether or not its buffered or unbuffered.
because its going to max out at 3.4 Gigs no matter how many sticks i use.

Re: to buffer or non buffer
I should have mentioned that if you have a RAM bandwithd critical system then you should use Fully Buffered DIMMs but I guess in your case the little extra performance isnt critical compared to the extra $$$ you have to spend.

Re: to buffer or non buffer
to avoid this issue, install a x64 bit OS
