Video memory is the RAM in your machine that is used exclusively for your graphics hardware. This can be both the RAM chips built into the graphics chipset its self, or it can be the RAM that is optionally "carved out" from the system memory. The latter is called "shared video memory" although it isn't really sharing as the graphics hardware uses it exclusively.
