This is for someone who has advanced knowledge of computers–i’m trying to figure out what virtualization technology, triple buffering, and vertical sync do also. Anyone know?

Dedicated video memory: When your graphics device has its own dedicated memory, rather than "borrowing" system memory from your installed RAM.
Virtualization: software that emulates a computer system. Lets you run a computer inside a computer as if it were any other application.
Triple buffering: In computer graphics, a technique where the next 2 frames in the video are rendered in memory before being displayed.
Vertical sync:In computer graphics, a technique where the display of frames is timed with the refresh rate of the monitor to prevent "tearing" – where a screen has some content from one frame, and some from a previous frame, effectively tearing the image.
