Want to buy registered RAM. If it doesn't say 'unbuffered', does it mean it is buffered/registered?

hi guys

I'm trying to buy registered (buffered) RAM. When I search for it for example on Amazon, it doesn't say registered or buffered. I can see that ram that is unbuffered is clearly labelled. Am I right in assuming that when it does not say unbuffered, that it is registered?

thanks for helping

Yes. Buffered is the same as registered.

I know. My point is when i search, those that are clearly labelled always say unbuffered. They don't say registered/buffered. For example, is this product buffered?

What a ridiculous system. Something so simple, could be made so much easier by just labelling it like they do when they sell unbuffered.

Thanks.

RDIMMs are buffered by a register, it is slightly different from the buffer used in DDR2 (fully buffered DIMM Vs unbuffered in those days),
