 Scotsmist Personal Computer Support - Explain Graphics Cards
Display adapters actually use 32 bits in 24 bit true colour mode, where the high order byte of the 32 bit word is used to read the next pixel of data in the series.
Displaying the same size of image at a colour depth of 16.8 million colours (3 bytes) requires 1,440,000 bytes.
Display modes of up to 1280 by 1024 pixels with 24 bits per pixel colour depth and refresh rates up to 75 Hz were defined.

It "boots" your computer, gives you your desktop, makes the mouse work, displays and manages all the icons (the little pictures you click on to run programs) and keeps track of where all your documents and programs are stored to name a few of it's functions.
For example, Video games, Image Editing applications and CAD (Computer Aided Drafting) programs sometimes require more advanced Display Adapters with lots of memory and 3D graphics capabilities, where office type applications such as word processing, spreadsheets and databases require less sophisticated Video Cards.
Without the operating system your computer would simply be an expensive pile of circuit boards that doesn't really do anything.

 How It Works: Display Adapters Part III
Monochrome displays kept the personal computer down to an affordable level for the average consumer.
In a sharp contrast to the graphics cards of today, first generation video adapters were monochrome.
The technology to create low-resolution color, graphic capable adaptors did exist early on in the life of the PC, and even rudimentary 3D acceleration was possible, but everything came at a price - a high price that executives knew the general public was not willing to pay.

 System Information - VGA Cards, Video Card, Video Display Adapters, Graphics Accelerator, SVGA, VGA, Video Graphics ...
The display capabilities of a computer, however, depend on both the logical circuitry (provided in the video adapter) and the display monitor.
A video card is a board that plugs into the computer to give it display capabilities.
These processors are specialized for computing graphical transformations, so they achieve better results than the general-purpose CPU used by the computer.

 MacConsultants - Mac Displays - Adapters and Connectors
The adapter provides an all-digital signal path between the computer and the display.
The adapter was designed to allow virtually all monitors to be used with your Apple computer.
Additionally special circuitry allows monitors to communicate their capabilities to the computer's display circuitry.
http://www.macconsultants.com/Display_adapters.asp

  
 ' + pPage + '
Because the monochrome display is a character-only display, you cannot use it with software that requires graphics.
The monitor is, of course, the display located on top of, near, or inside your computer.
Originally, that drawback only kept the user from playing games on a monochrome display, but today even the most serious business software uses graphics and color to great advantage.

 Video Standards at MonitorWorld.com informational interchange for monitors, adapters, and video cards
The ability to display sharper images with high color depth is something that, even today, is being constantly expanded upon.
IBM developed VGA in 1987, as one of the first computer video types to use analog signals.
This computer type outputs sync RsGsBs, RGsB, RGVS and RGBHV.
http://www.monitorworld.com/Cables/video_standards.html

  
 Video Adapters
Although the amount of each of the three base colors is continuous, computer equipment generally creates a range of possible brightness from 0 to 255 so that the intensity can be represented by a byte.
Today there are no adapters with so little memory that they cannot allocate three or four bytes per dot, even at the highest resolutions.
With an integrated adapter, however, some of this processing uses the main memory bus and then blocks access to memory by programs running on the CPU.

Microsoft Knowledge Base Article: 228147 - If you install Windows 2000 on a computer with an Intel i740 video adapter, the computer will not enter Standby mode.
Video adapters designed for use with Windows NT 4.0 may not be totally compatible with Windows 2000-based computers.
This may occur if you have a display adapter that uses the NVIDIA chip set and the basic input/output system (BIOS) on your computer does not have an interrupt request (IRQ) assigned for the display adapter.

 Video Adapters
Video performance is so good across the board that it is better to select a middle of the road adapter that every operating system supports rather than a very fast adapter with limited software.
Computers that are used as a disk or database server are often locked in a closet or run unattended.
An SVGA adapter with 1 megabyte of video memory can support 1024x768 resolution at 8 bits, or 800x600 resolution at 16 bits.

Otherwise, high-resolution modes may not be available, or your computer may stop responding when it attempts to switch to them.

 Joel on Software - How Microsoft Lost the API War
Remember, people buy computers for the applications that they run, and there's so much more great desktop software available for Windows than Mac that it's very hard to be a Mac user.
Now Microsoft has so many developers cranking away that it's not enough to reinvent the entire Windows API: they have to reinvent it twice.
And if you're developing a Windows GUI app today using Microsoft's "official" latest-and-greatest Windows programming environment, WinForms, you're going to have to start over again in two years to support Longhorn and Avalon.

 Laptop
Laptops contain components that are similar to those in their desktop counterparts and perform the same functions but are miniaturized and optimized for mobile use and efficient power consumption.
In addition to a built-in keyboard, they may utilize a touchpad (also known as a trackpad) or a pointing stick for input, though an external mouse or keyboard can usually be attached.
However newer laptop computers have now been able to rival their desktops and the term desktop replacement is a perfect description of this new situation (sometimes referred to as a "desknote").

Support for the card was included in popular software packages such as Lotus 1-2-3 to allow the display of graphs and charts on the computer screen.
Older displays sent digital signals to the monitor, while VGA (and later) send analog signals.

 Matrox Graphics - PCPhoto Magazine discovers DualHead
My experience so far has demonstrated that the multiple monitor display adapters seem to be the most effective solution for the Windows platform.
You can set a very high resolution on your primary monitor allowing for more information to be displayed, while setting the secondary monitor to a lower resolution so the objects on it will be displayed larger.
You are also able to set the orientation of the monitors in Windows, so that dragging off of one monitor and onto the other works as expected, depending on the location of the second monitor.
