What is Buffered Memory?

Buffered memory uses a Buffer chip to boost the clock signal sent across the memory module so that the clock signal is seen as a clean, sharp signal across the entire module. It eliminates chances of memory errors in data sent or retrieved from memory. It is commonly used in larger capacity Fast Page Mode or EDO modules. Buffered modules have a different keyway in the contact edge and can only be used when the board supports Buffered modules. Unlike Registered modules, it is not interchangeable with Unbuffered modules.
