What is the difference between "unbuffered" and "registered"?

Buffered is often used as a synonym for Registered memory. The addition of a register (buffer) between the memory controller and the memory chips reduces the bus load. This increases the number of modules that can be driven. This is why many systems specify unbuffered and (significantly higher) registered memory capacities.
