If you just want to view the files (not convert them),

you could use IrfanView ... it can do two things:

 

1) It can load the Preview-Jpg that is embedded in a raw ...

this option is very quick ... comes extremly handy, if you want to

flip back and forth in a larger number of raw-files.

 

2) It can convert the raw-content ... this option is

slow (and the intrinsic converter is not really good).

 

Other viewers are likely capable of doing the same thing.
