Does anyone make an expansion card (PCIe?) for RAM sticks?

[PaperclipGod]

I know there are software solutions to use a chunk of system memory as a virtual drive, but is there anything out there that lets you load up an expansion card with RAM and use that as your virtual drive?

Even if you couldn't keep it powered up 24/7, it'd still be useful for manipulating giant files and lots of multitasking. And if you could keep it powered 24/7 with a UPS or something, it's be awesome to "boot" from that kind of drive. I'm guessing it'd be pretty cheap, too, considering the price of memory these days.

I-Ram is one of those products you are looking for. But it's still expensive compare to just getting a regular SSD of the same size or even slightly larger size, i.e. 32GB or 64GB. I believed the i-ram was limited to 8GB or could be 16GB.

iRAM maxed out at 4 GB, the acard product is much nicer 6 or 8 slots that can handle up to 8GB sticks of DDR2 ram.
