ATI Technologies, the three-dimensional graphics pioneer, today announced HyperMemory, a technology that allows a PC to use system memory for graphics processing. HyperMemory uses the high-speed bi-directional data transfer capabilities of PCI Express to store and access graphics data in system memory, leading to less dependence on graphics memory, the company said in a statement. Currently high-grade graphics hardware relies on dedicated video RAM (VRAM) for storing textures and rendering data.
