| | Because the monochrome display is a character-only display, you cannot use it with software that requires graphics. | | | Although many types of display systems are considered to be standards, not all systems are considered to be viable standards for newer hardware and software. | | | The EGA system has some problems emulating the earlier CGA or MDA adapters, and some software that works with the earlier cards will not run on the EGA until the programs are modified. |

| | The hard drive or SCSI adapter card used on a particular system may use a different amount of memory, but it is most likely to use the memory segment beginning at C800 because this address is considered part of the IBM standard for personal computers. | | | With many adapter boards, you can change the actual memory locations to be used with jumpers, switches, or driver software, which might be necessary to allow two boards to coexist in one system. | | | Using this memory to 736K might be possible depending on the video adapter, the types of memory boards installed, ROM programs on the motherboard, and the type of system. |
