'It's important to get context, like if I make up an insane example.'

Fun fact: American English never adopted the French / British "milliard." Western colonization began around the same time that comma separation changed the group above millions. The original bi-millions (as in one million million) became one thousand million. See long and short scales. This American use was later standardized back into British English.

Still weird there's no BYO-RAM cards. They'd suffer in terms of performance, but... possibly not as much as you'd think. Modern GPU caching is all about waiting. Cache miss? Send request, switch context, come back later.

The general solution is making integrated graphics not suck. Oh sorry, the ten-dollar term is "heterogeneous compute." Multi-architecture parallelism, the way of the future! And also the Xbox 360.
