Which is better....20 gig of registered or unregistered ram? I have read that is a good idea to have registered ram when you have a large amount in your computer. If I go with unregistered, am I asking for trouble?

Are you talking about Buffered memory...? Buffered/Registered is better and will protect you if you get errors but the computer will not boot or throw you an error, if an error exists.

If you are launching the space shuttle, you may need it...otherwise, IMHO no.

If you are talking about a Windows Server or finite element analysis, get the registered. Again IMHO.
