I think it means "having registers" :-)

According to http://www.memoryx.net/128rpc133ecc.html:

 Registered means the module has a type of buffering. This allows more
 modules to run stably in a system. To use registered dimm, your
 mainboard must support registration and you can not mix registered
 and non registered memory.
