I doubt your Corsair RAM will work as its most likely to be a DIMM form factor. That accelerator needs 72 pin SIMM which are completely different.

SIMM memory was used in late 486 and Pentium 1 PCs. You can usually find these SIMMs on ebay, although larger modules can be scarce. 4-16MB are fairly common.
Beware that the other common type of SIMMs are 30 pin which will not work with your accelerator either.

I'm not familiar with that particular accelerator but have you tried a SIMM with chips on only one side?
