Building a new computer

[Bruce McDonald]

Hello Rick and everyone following this;

In reference to  ASUS A8V board previously mentioned, I decided the NIC card
issue did not pose a problem enough to drop the board from consideration. 
The only listing of the board on the ASUS web pages is for the A8V Deluxe,
it comes with built in wireless.  Seems good, but the same NIC chipset.

ASUS website says this:
"It features 2000 MT/s HyperTransport Bus, dual-channel un-buffered DDR400
memory support and AMD Cool 'n' Quiet! Technology."

I want to use an AMD 64 processor with this motherboard and AMD states that
you should use registered memory with this processor.

I sent ASUS an email asking if the A8V Deluxe will work with registered
memory.
Their reply was: "This board does not require ECC memory. Thanks."

I don't believe that actually answered my question.  I could postulate that
since it does not _require_ ECC memory, that means it could use registered
memory.  But I would still be guessing that is what they were saying which
defeats the whole point of asking.

I asked them for clarification, it has been 3 days since I sent that mail. 
I received the reply to the first email on the same day.
Whew!!!   Long back story.


So, I ask any Hardware people here.  Do you believe the motherboard would
work with registered memory?


Thank you.
