Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mixing unbuffered with registered memory is not supported because they use different methods for handling memory and cannot operate together in the same system. Unbuffered (or unregistered) memory is directly controlled by the memory controller, while registered (or buffered) memory has a register between the DRAM modules and the system's memory controller, which can lead to incompatibility issues when mixed.
