video RAM {video random access memory} | |
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]: | |
video random access memory to be displayed on a computer's {monitor}. VRAM may be built from special memory {integrated circuits} designed to be accessed sequentially. VRAM must be fast enough to supply data to the display electronics at the speed at which the screen is scanned. Thus for example, for a {resolution} of 1280x1024 eight-bit {pixels} at a {refresh rate} of 70 Hz, the {video memory} would need to supply 1280x1024x70 = 90 Mbyte/s or one byte every 11 ns. The VRAM may be {dual ported} in order to allow the display electronics and the {CPU} to access it at the same time. In an {IBM PC} the VRAM is located on the display interface card and 0.5 - 2 MB is typical. {A VRAM Song (http://www.fweep.com/vram.html)}! (2001-02-14) |
