CGA was ibm's original colour graphics device,EGA and VGA were later
standards, each offering higher resolution and more colours. If you are
loking for consumer advice, I would recommend staying with a monochrome
setup, with a good graphics board which will do both herc. and CGA emulation,
or coming up with the dough for a ega/vga setup as these three all give good
looking text,CGA is very hard to look at (in my opinion). The price
difference between EGA and VGA favours going the distance, but at this time
most software writers are just starting to write for the new standard. Others
may be able to give more technical help, I'm sure they will. I can't help
wondering how much computer slamming this simple question will start, so I'll
sart the ball rolling by saying that I like the way IBM compatibles are
upgradable to new standards (at least until MCA came out, I'm sure EISA will
be popular though). Pplease, all others don't mean to imply other computers
are not upgradable, I dont know enough about anything but IBM compatibles to
comment, which I am sure is the case with most people who enjoy criticizing
others choices.
