So if you don't install drivers it would act as a regular RAM? Thus ruining your performance.. I don't think it will work out of the box on regular systems. Also, isn't pcie better for this?

  Maybe it helps if you have much data to process and don't need to move it from disk to RAM anymore. Everything can be done in RAM.

    Except that it is 20,000 times slower than RAM.

      But still faster than swapping to disk. You would also benefit from the increased throughput.

        That doesn't make any sense. If it just showed up as RAM your system would be so slow it would be unusable. There is no benefit to that. Using this requires a supported motherboard specifically because you do not want it to be used as RAM.
