What Does EGA Stand For?
EGA stands for Enhanced Graphics Adapter
The Enhanced Graphics Adapter (EGA) is a display standard developed by IBM, introduced in the mid-1980s. It provides improved graphics capabilities compared to its predecessor, the Color Graphics Adapter (CGA), supporting up to 16 colors from a palette of 64 and enabling higher resolution modes of 640x350 pixels. EGA played a significant role in the development of computer graphics, serving as a bridge between early graphics technology and the more advanced Video Graphics Array (VGA) standard. Its architecture allowed for enhanced performance in gaming and graphic applications, contributing to the evolution of personal computing.
