Video Memory
The video memory, also known as SGRAM, is a local block of RAM for holding major data
structures: Frame Buffer (double buffer), Z-Buffer and T-Buffer (Texture Buffer). The
Frame Buffer holds one frame steady on the screen while the next one is being processed,
while the Z-buffer stores depth information for each pixel.
