You are introducing a whole additional set of electronic connections
and additional PCB traces into your memory bus, probably /the/ most
performance-critical, tightly-timed, highest-performance interconnect
in your entire computer.

At /best/ you will get random crashes and subtle memory corruption,
resulting in errors in your files. At worst, your computer will never
work reliably again until you remove the convertor - or might even
suffer electronic damage and stop working forever.
