	Can anyone tell me the difference between CGA, EGA,
	VGA, MGA, and other cards, in the way that they handle
	signals between the card and the monitor? I have been
	told that if I upgrade from my current CGA to, for example,
	EGA, I need a new monitor. I have no problem with that. But
	I would like to know WHY!

	Feel free to be technical in your answer. EE answers are ok.
