Glossary Term "video RAM"

video RAM

Related Terms RAM, resolution
Description RAM used to store images that will be displayed on the monitor screen. In the old days video RAM used to be directly linked with the screen, SO that changing a value in video RAM would be immediately reflected on the screen. Nowadays video RAM may store multiple "pages" which can be altered independently. The visible page can then be "swapped", to provide flicker free screen updates. The more video RAM a video card has, the higher the maximum resolution it is capable of.
