Larger RAM modules have significantly higher capacity loads for their signal lines. Buffering reduces these loads, but increases latency. * Unregistered RAM * Registered RAM: Address and control lines are buffered, data lines are unbuffered * Fully buffered RAM: All the lines are buffered * Address buffered RAM: often used in large memory arrays (copied from )
