It'd use it to run Windows and daily use programs off of, plus whatever game I'm currently playing to reduce load times. Its uses PCIe rather than SATA III, so dat 10Gb/s speed.

This also trips me out, can someone explain how this CPU works?

That's not a CPU, it says it right in the title, its a coprocessor. It probably works similarly to a GPU, but providing extra processing power for non-rendering needs.
Steve5451²:
It's a processor that can take some work off of the CPU. I doubt it actually appears as more cores but rather just uses drivers to direct operations to it rather than the CPU.
shitlord:
i guess that would be good for like rendering a video in the background without using up the main cpus power
extremely expensive though
i remember my pentium II was a cpu that fit into a card slot, instead of a socket

I mean how does the SSD install?

Oh, thanks for clearing that up.
