Created by DigitalIceAge (talk). Self-nominated at 09:28, 21 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Video Seven; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Interesting article for those who are tech minded and interested in computer history. Well constructed on good sources throughout. Article was previously a redirect, so this is a new article created in the proper time. No copyright violations detected. Article is within policy. Hook facts are both confirmed. Either hook may be promoted. I would suggest to the promoter that the full name be used for VGA or EGA as not all readers may be familiar with those abbreviations. RAM is probably widely understood and can be left alone. I leave it to the promoter to choose which hook they prefer, and to decide whether or not to leave the abbreviations in place.4meter4 (talk) 19:04, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
