well sameer, Video memory is a term generally used in computers to describe some form of writable memory, usually RAM, dedicated to the purpose of holding the information necessary for a graphics card to drive a display device. In modern 3D graphics cards, the video memory may also hold 3D vector data, textures, backbuffers, overlays and GPU programs.
Memory located on the video card, in some cases located on the motherboard, that is accessible by the video and computer processor. With more video memory, the video card and computer are capable of handling more complex graphics at a faster rate. Video card memory may be between 8 and 128MB of memory or higher.

2.Video RAM is specialized RAM which is used on video cards.
Video RAM is dual-ported, which means it can be accessed by two different devices simultaneously. This enables data to be read from video RAM (i.e. sent to the computer monitor) at th same time data is written to video RAM.
3.RAM installed on a video adapter. Before an image can be sent to a display monitor, it is first represented as a bit map in an area of video memory called the frame buffer. The amount of video memory, therefore, dictates the maximum resolution and color depth available.
