2. Video random-access memory - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_random-access_memory

   Video random-access memory (VRAM) is dedicated computer memory used to store the pixels and other graphics data as a framebuffer to be rendered on a computer monitor. [1] It often uses a different technology than other computer memory, in order to be read quickly for display on a screen.

3. Shared graphics memory - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_graphics_memory

   A notable exception was the IBM PC. Graphics display was facilitated by the use of an expansion card with its own memory plugged into an ISA slot. The first IBM PC to use the SMA was the IBM PCjr, released in 1984. Video memory was shared with the first 128 KiB of RAM. The exact size of the video memory could be reconfigured by software to meet ...

4. Dual-ported video RAM - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-ported_video_RAM

   Dual-ported video RAM (VRAM) is a dual-ported RAM variant of dynamic RAM (DRAM), which was once commonly used to store the Framebuffer in Graphics card, . Dual-ported RAM allows the CPU to read and write data to memory as if it were a conventional DRAM chip, while adding a second port that reads out data.

5. Random-access memory - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random-access_memory

   Many computer systems have a memory hierarchy consisting of processor registers, on-die SRAM caches, external caches, DRAM, paging systems and virtual memory or swap space on a hard drive. This entire pool of memory may be referred to as "RAM" by many developers, even though the various subsystems can have very different access times ...

6. Memory timings - Wikipedia

   Increasing memory bandwidth, even while increasing memory latency, may improve the performance of a computer system with multiple processors and/or multiple execution threads. Higher bandwidth will also boost performance of integrated graphics processors that have no dedicated video memory but use regular RAM as VRAM.

7. Dynamic random-access memory - Wikipedia

   Motherboard of the NeXTcube computer, 1990, with 64 MiB main memory DRAM (top left) and 256 KiB of VRAM [2] (lower edge, right of middle) Dynamic random-access memory ( dynamic RAM or DRAM ) is a type of random-access semiconductor memory that stores each bit of data in a memory cell , usually consisting of a tiny capacitor and a transistor ...
