to install 8 bit isa card in pci slot

Sound Blaster 16, now that was a good sound card

That's a PCI to PCIe bridge

to upgrade your Athlon XP 2200+ system

you are right and i am wrong

to run doom 95 at 4k 1000fps on a pentium mmx 3090 system

install a low profile card in a regular system

for what purpose?

I'm just spitballing but this seems like some production level or testing thing where you don't have to fuck up your test memory from repeated insertions
Also would be good for probing

To protect your motherboard. It boggles the mind how many more cheap, second-hand motherboards would be in circulation if these things were standard.

For me, it's converting 4 sticks into 1. Plus you can get another shorter version that fits underneath for the second slot

No.
As the other anons have already stated, it's a 1:1 DDR4 riser used to protect motherboard slots from repeated insertion cycles. You're supposed to put it in your motherboard and let it absorb the wear and tear from inserting RAM sticks.
That way if a RAM slot dies from physical wear, you just replace the $1 riser instead of the entire motherboard.
