From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
video random access memory          (VRAM) Fast memory designed for storing the image       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)
