  For the EGA, the MCGA, and the VGA, the page concept is as readily
  available in graphics modes as in text modes. Obviously there is no reason
  not to have graphics pages if the memory is there to support them.

  The main benefit of using multiple pages for either graphics or text is to
  be able to switch instantly from one display screen to another without
  taking the time to build the display information from scratch. In theory,
  multiple pages could be used in graphics mode to produce smooth and
  fine-grained animation effects, but there aren't enough display pages to
  take the animation very far.
