here are some of the warnings that i got off my system:

warning 100: large memory sizes should be made of registered/buffered memory.

warning 2545: large memory modules should be registered/buffered

how would i "register/buffer" my memory...?

Hello spilot

You cannot 'register" or "buffer" memory; it's the type of memory hardware spec that you purchase. Typically, unless you're running a server or some type of highly mission-critical system, you won't require 'registered" memory. In today's systems, where 1G of RAM is getting to be more the norm, I have a feeling Sandra needs to catch up to the times regarding those specific "warnings".

Registered Memory: A memory module that contains registers that hold the data for one clock cycle before it is moved on to the motherboard. This process increases the reliability of high-speed data access. Registered memory modules are typically used only in servers and other mission-critical systems where it is extremely important that the data is properly handled.

Here's a short (albeit older) article about unbuffered, registered and ECC memory.

Lara RR is correct, don't worry about it.

Here's the memory guide I was trying to think of yesterday - it's at Kingston:
