		Video Graphics Array is actually a set of different resolutions, but is most commonly used today to refer to 640 × 480 pixel displays with 16 colours (4 bits per pixel) and a 4:3 aspect ratio.
		VGA displays and adapters are generally capable of Mode X graphics.
		Enhanced Graphics Adapter, with a resolution of 640 × 350 pixels of 16 different colours (8 bits per pixel) selectable from a 64-colour palette (10 bits per palette item).

	Multicolor Graphics Adapter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Multicolor Graphics Adapter (MCGA) was the IBM name for what would later become part of the generic Video Graphics Array (VGA) standard.
		Display modes supported by MCGA were all CGA modes plus 640x480 monochrome, 60 Hz refresh rate, and 320x200, 256 colors (out of a palette of 262,144) at 70 Hz refresh rate.
		The tenure of MCGA was brief; the PS/2 Model 25 and Model 30 (which had an MCGA display adapter integrated into the motherboard) were discontinued by 1992 and no manufacturer produced a clone of this display adapter, since the VGA standard introduced at the same time was considered superior.

	Graphics Jargon
		In graphics mode, the display screen is treated as an array of pixels, with characters and other shapes formed by turning on combinations of pixels.
		A graphics board (or graphics card) is a printed circuit board that, when installed in a computer, permits the computer to display pictures.
		The difference between vector graphics and raster graphics, therefore, is that vector graphics are not translated into bit maps until the last possible moment, after all sizes and resolutions have been specified.

	The Classical Outlook:Random Access:Spring 1992
		Without a graphics adapter the computer is limited to printing on its screen only the 128 characters in the ASCII list and another 128 in the IBM alternate character set.
		Graphics adapters are also required for the use of most multicolor monitors.
		The complexity of graphics adapters has developed over the years; but, unless you are trying to use a very specialized type of software, they are generally intercompatible, as long as they follow one of the official IBM standards (CGA, EGA, VGA) or an independent equivalent, like Hercules (A brand name--students, take note!).

	Video Card Standards
		MultiColor Graphics Array, released in 1987, marked a switch-over in video standards that would eventually lead into VGA and SVGA which we now use today.
		It was introduced on April 2, 1987 by IBM, the same day it introduced the MCGA and 8514/A adapters.
		This card contained all the circuitry needed to produce VGA graphics, and like all expansion cards, it plugged into a slot on the motherboard, via an 8-bit interface.

		Another issue with respect to memory on the graphics adapter is how wide the access is between the graphics chipset and the memory on the adapter.
		Solving most graphics adapter and monitor problems is fairly simple, although costly, because replacing the adapter or display is the usual procedure.
		Many adapters now are constructed with surface-mount technology that requires a substantial investment in a rework station before you can remove and replace these components by hand.

		In their most common computer application, notebook computers, video drivers take the digital information in the graphics frame buffer and digitally interface to the row and column drivers that set the colors at each pixel in the display.
		Super video graphics array is a set of graphics standards designed to offer greater resolution than VGA.
		In graphics mode, the resolution is either 640 by 480 (with 16 colors) or 320 by 200 (with 256 colors).

	Graphics
		When video graphics cards became able to per-pixel addressing, graphics started to become very important to computers.
		How computers would make graphics out of this is by placing these characters in different parts of the scene, and by making them different colors.
		Along with graphics capability, CGA added the the ability to use up to 16 colors, and different character sizes.

		Just look at the advances made by IBM over the course of a decade: In 1981, IBM introduced the Color Graphics Adapter (CGA), which was capable of rendering four colors, and had a maximum resolution of 320 pixels horizontally by 200 pixels vertically.
		IBM introduced the Extended Graphics Array (XGA) display in 1990, offering 800x600 pixel resolution in true color(16.8 million colors) and 1,024x768 resolution in 65,536 colors.
		The combination of the display modes supported by your graphics adapter and the color capability of your monitor determine how many colors can be displayed.
