– What is VRAM

Question

I know it stands for Video Random Access Memory, but I cant comprehend or visualize what that means. If you can, give me some visual descriptions to help me wrap my head around it.

Thanks!

One thing that has not been mentioned is that in the past (not sure if it’s true now) true VRAM was different to normal DRAM being “dual port”, that is the CPU is able to read and write the memory at the same time the data is being read out sequentially and uninterrupted to the video port to your display monitor.
