Sorry, but Socket 939 systems cannot use registered memory at all. This is because the memory controller is not on the motherboard, but the CPU die itself. And no Socket 939 CPU has a memory controller which supports registered memory; the memory controllers on such CPUs are designed for unbuffered memory.
