Will registered RAM fit in a standard DIMM slot, or is it keyed different?

If the registered ram is sdram (standard) then yes it will fit.
But, does your motherboard support Registered memory?

Beg to differ !!

REGISTERS AND BUFFERS
Registers and buffers improve memory operation by "re-driving" control signals in the memory chips. They can be external to the memory module, or they can be located on the module itself. Having registers and buffers placed directly on the memory module, enables a system to support a greater quantity of modules. So, you're likely to find these types of modules in servers and high-end workstations. It is important to note that when upgrading, unbuffered and buffered (or registered) modules cannot be mixed.
Buffering (EDO and FPM): For EDO and fast page modules, the process of re-driving the signals is called buffering. With buffering there is no loss of performance.
Registering (SDRAM): For SDRAM, the signal driving process is called registering. Registering is similar to buffering, except that in registering, the data is clocked in and out of the register by the system clock. Registered modules are slightly slower than non-registered modules, because the registering process takes one clock cycle.
Buffered and non-buffered modules are keyed differently, to ensure that they can't be used in place of one another.

I stand corrected. But I did say "If the registered ram is sdram" not EDO for FPM.
