[LedBakery]

What is the difference between the two? What are the pros and cons of both ECC / Registered RAM and Non ECC / Non Registered RAM?

ECC/Registered RAM is generally reserved for servers and sometimes workstations. If you are looking at RAM for a desktop unbuffered, unregistered and non-ECC is what you want. Have a read through http://www.computerforum.com/11096-ram-101-a.html it is all covered there.
