The PARTS that are used in the box are pretty much the same as other commodity parts. True enough. The DESIGN of the way they are put together, the circuitry, EDC/ECC, page-modes etc. are predicated on the TSO (ie "total store order" not timesharing option) memory model and the z architecture storage consistency rules documented in PoPs. The DESIGN of the z memory subsystem (and caches) is only distantly related to the memory subsystem design in a commodity PC.
