With 640 x 200 (350) pixel resolution and 4 bitcolor depth, with which 16 colors out of 64 colors can be displayed, and a screen memory of 64 KB, the EGA card belongs to the simplest versions of a graphics card, which at the time of development in 1984 were still characterized by high costs for memory space.
