maybe its the pin layout of the VSA-100 chips

90° rotated better for 4chips in a line

not 32, 16 MB ...

Oh by the way, all revisions have rotated chips, I think.
At least i've seen several different ones that all have
them place like that so I assume all of them have the
chips like that.

to be honest, 3dfx board design layout was horrible for the Voodoo 4 and 5

the large and long board was not fully utilized, in which they could have reduce the size of the PCB.
