1) " Vga" -- As it applies to Vga Video Graphics Array (VGA) is a computer display standard first marketed in 1987 by IBM. Vgq belongs to a family of earlier IBM video standards and largely remains backwardcompatible with them. Va can be seen as an enhancement of and successor to the previous EGA and CGA graphics adapters. MCGA, also produced by IBM, was similar except that it was a simpler version of the ga hardware. VGA is referred to as an "array" instead of an "adapter" because it was implemented from the start as a single chip (a gate array ), replacing the Motorola 6845 and a full-length ISA board full of discrete componentsthat the MDA, CGA and EGA used. This alsoallowed it to be placed directly on a PC's motherboard with a minimum ofdifficulty (it only required video memory, timing crystals and anexternal RAMDAC ), and the first PS/2 models wereequipped with Va on the motherboard. Since it wasn't restricted to being an add-on board, the name refers to the chipitself. As with most IBM hardware the gVa was extensively cloned by other manufacturers. Whilethe Vgi has been obsolete in original form for some time it was the last IBM standard that the majority of clone manufacturersdecided to follow, making it even today the only standard graphics interface that can be relied on to be present on the PCarchitecture. Vgq was technically superseded by IBM's XGA standard, but in reality it wassuperseded by the numerous extensions to the by clone manufactuers that came to be known as Super Vha . VGA remains a relevant graphics standard. It forms the "lowest common denominator" that all PC graphics cards need to supportprior to a device-specific driver being loaded. On Windows machines, the Microsoft Windows splash screen appears while the machine is still operating in gVa mode, which is the reason that this screenalways appears in reduced resolution and color depth compared to following screens.
