Hum... why would anyone want such a thing?

For persistent storage of data, I guess it would be a *very* bad idea. Lose
power = lose data.

For nice fast swap space, I guess it would make more sense to put those 8GB
right onto the mainboard, so you don't need the swap space in the first place.

For fast temporary storage of mass data (like, say, in scientific simulations),
it's plain too small...
