	What is EGA? 1984 IBM Enhanced Graphics Adapter Display Card
		It was a nice graphics card at the time, but it couldn't deliver the vast array of colors we all like today, so it is thus forgotten.
		One new feature on the EGA adapter was the memory expansion board.
		One good thing, though, was that most aftermarket EGA cards came equipped with the full 256 KB of memory.

	Enhanced Graphics Adapter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Enhanced Graphics Adapter (EGA) is the IBM PC computer display standard specification located between CGA and VGA in terms of graphics performance (that is, colour and space resolution).
		EGA can drive an MDA monitor by a special setting of switches on the board; only 640×350 high-res is available in this mode.
		The EGA standard was made obsolete by the introduction of VGA by IBM in April 1987 with the PS/2 computer line.

	Color Graphics Adapter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Color Graphics Adapter (CGA), introduced in 1981, was IBM's first color graphics card, and the first color computer display standard for the IBM PC.
		In 320×200 graphics mode, the background color, which defaulted to fl on mode initialization, could be changed to any of the other 15 colors of the CGA palette.
		The CGA card was succeeded in the consumer space by IBM's Enhanced Graphics Adapter (EGA) card, which supported most of CGA's modes, and added an additional resolution (640×350) as well as a software-selectable palette of 16 colors out of 64 in both text and graphics modes.

		Enhanced Graphics Adapter is a graphic display specification between CGA and VGA.
		Introduced in 1984, EGA produced a display of 16 colors at a resolution of 640x350 pixels.
		His relatives were not numerous: there were two cousins; and he had an uncle in Iowa, a country minister whom he had money; nor could he quite conjure his imagination into picturing any pawn his watch, which was an old-fashioned one of silver and might but realistic in detail, and horridly probable--of his.

		EGA is a graphic standard introduced by IBM in 1984 as a contemporary to the IBM PC AT personal computer.
		The EGA standard is not missed; users from the 1980s remember the monitors as fundamentally blurry, so much so that many businesses used monochrome or single-color monitors for years to help their workers see the text on-screen.
		Computers with EGA technology are not usable for much of anything anymore, although they might make nice collectables.

		In a graphics display, a value for every possible dot position on the screen is stored as one or more bits in memory, the contents of the memory are read out directly to the video monitor 60 times a second.
		The heart of display adapter is the Motorola 6845 CRT controller that provides all the timing and control signals for the video display.
		EGA uses RAM memory to hold the bit pattern to draw the text mode characters--a RAM character generator instead of a ROM generator.

	What is video adapter? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
		The display capabilities of a computer, however, depend on both the logical circuitry (provided in the video adapter) and the display monitor.
		Modern video adapters contain memory, so that the computer's RAM is not used for storing displays.
		In addition, most adapters have their own graphics coprocessor for performing graphics calculations.

	Enhanced Graphics Adapter (EGA)
		This standard offered improved resolutions and more colors than CGA, although the capabilities of EGA are still quite poor compared to modern devices.
		You will occasionally run into older systems that still use EGA; EGA-level graphics are the minimum requirement for Windows 3.x and so some very old systems still using Windows 3.0 may be EGA.
		There is of course no reason to stick with EGA when it is obsolete and VGA cards are so cheap and provide much more performance and software compatibility.

	Color Graphics Adapter (CGA)
		The first mainstream video card to support color graphics on the PC was IBM's Color Graphics Adapter (CGA) standard.
		Graphics modes range from monochrome at 640x200 (which is worse than the Hercules card) to 16 colors at 160x200.
		These dots are accessible individually when in a graphics mode but in text each character was formed from a matrix that is 8x8, instead of the MDA's 9x14, resulting in much poorer text quality.
