  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).
Each of the 16 colours could be assigned a unique RGB colour code via a palette mechanism in the 640×350 high-resolution mode; EGA let you choose the displayed colours out of a total of 64 palette colours (two bits per pixel for red, green and blue).
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 (originally sold under the name "Color/Graphics Monitor Adapter"), and the first color computer display standard for the IBM PC.
In graphics modes, text output by the BIOS used two separate tables: The first half of the character set (128 characters) was supplied by a table in the BIOS at F000:FA6E, and the second half was supplied by the location pointed to by interrupt 1F (0000:007C).
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.

 PC Repair Guide: How a Video Card Works (aka Graphics Adapter) - ACME HOW TO.com
The graphics adapter plugs into a slot on the motherboard or is incorporated directly into the electronics of the motherboard.
Modern graphics adapters incorporate a processor and memory right onto the card to improve their performance.
To further improve the performance of the video output, a second graphics accelerator card can be used in tandem with the graphics adapter.

 Understanding Your Video Adapter
While the names to describe it are many (video adapter, video card, video board, video display board, graphics card or graphics adapter) its job and function within a computer system remains the same, regardless of what you call it.
Early graphics adapters received data from the processor and basically forwarded the signals to the monitor, leaving your system's CPU to do all the work related to processing and calculating.
In non-accelerated (unaccelerated) graphics adapters, the computer needed to change each pixel individually to change the image on the screen.

 Intel® 82810 Graphics Controller - Can the Intel® 810/810E/810E2 Chipset Graphics be disabled?
Most motherboards have a BIOS setting to change the primary graphics adapter to the PCI video card, which should allow PCI video cards to work properly.
This will not disable the integrated graphics adapter; instead, it will set it to work as the secondary adapter for multi-monitor support.
If the primary display adapter is set to PCI in the system BIOS, the integrated graphics should automatically show up as disabled in Device Manager after rebooting.

 Setting Up Solaris 7, 8, and 9 Operating Environments for Java Servlet Graphics
On the Solaris OE, Java platform graphics have been dependent upon the presence of an X server and hardware graphics adapter.
The original Java platform graphics API was written to use peer components from a native window system: on Solaris, the peers are provided by the X Window System.
Because an X server handles both graphical display and user input, it uses software drivers for the graphics adapter, keyboard, and mouse.

 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.

The Color Graphics Adapter (CGA), introduced in 1981, was [IBM's first color graphics card (originally sold under the name andquot;Color/Graphics Monitor Adapterandquot;), and the first color computer display standard for the IBM PC.
The colors in Composite color mode did not use the same color table as the CGA color set, but was more like that of the Apple II's andquot;double-hi-resandquot; mode, as both used a similar technique (composite signal color artifacting).
The fl and white graphics mode had a resolution of 720×348 pixels, which was better than even the highest resolution CGA could offer.
