I can never get over how VGA is actually both a cable type and a standard that defines resolutions and frequencies for video transmission (up to 640x480)... While usually, over VGA-Cables, we transfer things like SVGA, WVGA or UXGA... all representing some sort of resolution. Just a tidbit, nothing wrong with your answer!

@sinni800 I think it's just shortcut for "VGA-compatible cable/connector".

"Any PC that you buy will have a graphics card, either integrated graphics or discrete graphics, or both." Not true. It's perfectly possible to buy a PC without a graphics card, and I routinely do so. They aren't usable until you add a GPU, but you may well purchase a PC without, and bring over your GPU from your old computer.

@ChrisInEdmonton: I agree that it is possible to buy a PC without a GPU, and I agree that one must generally add a video card to such a PC in order to set up the PC. However, I see that some people build "headless servers"; after the server is all set up, they apparently find that server "usable" even after they pull out the video card.
