I was wondering if anyone could tell me technically what the difference is between Chip RAM and Fast RAM. My Understanding is that any graphics currently being manupulated or modified is basiclly buffered by CHIP RAM during its processing. Once the processing is completed it is put in fast ram for display or playback. I belive this is basically correct. What I don't understand is the memory "type" difference. Is CHIP RAM 'static' RAM and the fast RAM 'dynamic'? I there a difference in they're respective manufacturing ? which would be the case with the static/dynamic difference.
