Is there a current AthlonXP motherboard I can buy that supports 1GB Registered PC2100 DDR SDRAM? I have an AthlonXP 1800+ CPU.

I wish we could condense all these threads on basically the same subject (I think we're up to 3 now). My vote goes to replace the RAM with PC3200 sticks. As mentioned in another thread, you already have a nice mobo and you'll also have upgradeability should you decide to pop a Barton in there down the line.

From what I'm gathering of these posts, I can't imagine you need the benefits registered RAM provides.

As for the proc that Sumthing546 said to replace, depending on what you do and how your system is handling things, it still has life left in it. Ideally, a Barton proc would be a utopian match for your mobo, but it's all relative.

its a type of CPU core. there are many flavors: thunderbird, barton
it just specifies the amount of L2 cache and the like. you can do research, but barton is your best bet i think.

registered and unregistered: one has error corrections. it goes slower but is more accurate. that is my little understanding of it

The A7N8X does NOT support registered RAM.

As we have said in your other thread, no single proc mobo that I know of for the XP supports registered RAM.

Sell it or trade it in for unbuffered/unregistered.
