My computer already has 4 GB of RAM, and cannot make use of more than about 3 GB, but there is an extra slot still available for another chip. Is there any other kind of chip that can be put there in place of memory serving some other function? Or can I add another memory chip and let the computer utilize this in some alternative way?

Acording to this, maybe you can use it for SSD.
Also you can use it as RAM Disk but I suppouse that that is not what you where looking for.
After google it a little bit, I am prety sure that you can use SSD in your DIMM slot, and they will retain data even after you’ve powered down.
You can find some aditioanl info here, or watch this youtube video. As these products are by SanDisk I think it can be used as relevant, although I have never use SSD in this fasion.
In addition, as per comment by ramhound I have updated links so they are less than one year old

The slot is designed to put only a RAM module, restricted to the speed of the RAM bus your hardware use.
