Yes, it is.  But I doubt that my company would be willing to work up new 
relationships with RAM vendors just to sell a couple of little/no profit 
myth boxes.

As for what makes it "enterprise-grade," you'd have to ask the techs.  I 
just know that you can't just take any old DIMM, pop it into a 1u dual 
xeon (or opteron) server, and expect that it'll work fine (sometimes, 
one size of one brand will work in one slot but not another, or another 
size of the same brand won't cut it at all).
