just a quick 1, troopy has answered you question but how to tell if u have the memory in your hands registered or server memory has the slots/cut outs in a different place. it wont fit into a normal pc slot and similarly normal pc memory wont fit into a server board.

You cab't just say whether it's server ram.

The difference comes down to the motherboard used....
some use error corrected/noncorrected ram..
some use unbuffered/buffered ram....

it depends purely on the motherboard.
You can get servers with various types.
Check the manual of the motherboard you intend to use.
