So... I've never installed a set of Vs. chips before, other than a daughterboard. I just got a set in the mail, and I'd like to get them installed.

I have a noob question here. Which chips go where? I have the CPU and PPU installed already, but I'm not sure on what order to install the rest of the chips.

The game is Excite Bike.

The chips should have labels on them. If it's a single monitor installation they will go on the 6A,6B,6C,6D, and 8A, and 8b slots. If they don't have labels, you're gonna be guessing. If it's a dual monitor install it can go on 1A,1B,1C,1D, and 3A, 3B or on the 6 and 8 slots. (going by memory, I think that's right). Sometimes the chips are labeled for the 1 and 3 sides or the 6 and 8 slots. If it's labeled for 1 and 3 slots and it's a single monitor, ignore the labels and install them on the corresponding 6 and 8 slots.

I have videos going over the boards on my site and here:

Thanks for your help... feeling a little retarded now, because I didn't notice the labels on the board at first...

Got it installed, and works great! Thanks again!
