What is the difference between VRAM and physical RAM?
I just wanted to know what is the difference between Video RAM (in GPUs like GeForce) and normal Physical RAM of PC?
I'm buying a new PC and I'm opting for 2 GB RAM and 256 MB GeFore 8 Series GPU.
I want to do basic gaming, some high end graphic designing and basic video editing and also i want to play HD videos.
Will this be fine?

Video RAM is connected to the graphics card and is used for graphics processing.
Regular RAM is connected to the motherboard and is used for general processing.
That should be fine what what you are looking to do, although I would try to get a little more video RAM.

NO, unless by gaming you mean 2D games, very very simple 3D games or 2~3 year old 3D games. It will NOT run any new 3D first person shooters or simulation type games. Intel GMA X3100 is the WORST card you can buy these days in a Core 2 Duo based notebook. For games the MOST IMPORTANT thing is the graphics card. CPU, RAM or another component can’t make up for a crappy graphics card like the GMA 3100. Also noticed that its a MAC, this is the absolute worst combo you can pick for games (MAC with a X3100). p.s : YOU CANNOT UPGRADE THE GRAPHICS CARD !! Just to clarify some misleading recommendations given above by *Atlanta* and *Dee*
