Re: "The 760 chipset worked fine with three DIMMs as long as registered DIMMs were used. "

Dale, <As for the third DIMM slot not working, this was only the case with unregistered DIMMs. The 760 chipset worked fine with three DIMMs as long as registered DIMMs were used.>

Registered DIMMs are specifically designed to work in systems with three or four DIMM slots per memory channel. They are also expensive. For that reason, they are primarily used in servers and high-end workstations.

However, you can't tell desktop box makers to use only registered DIMMs for three-slot DDR motherboards.
