Questions about RAM
What is the difference between registered and unbuffered RAM? And is it faster to go with two 512 sticks instead of one gig stick?

Registered modules have additional registers, which delay all addressess transferred to the module by one cycle. This is done to decouple the ram chips from the memory bus, so a module can have more chips (the bus load will not increase if more ram chips are present)
Buffered modules are similar, but instead of registers, they contain buffers, the difference is that a register is clocked, and a buffer is not. Two sticks are good if you want to run Dual Channel. |

If you have two sticks you can run 1T
