Abstract: A method and apparatus for configuring memory within a dual access dynamic random access memory (DRAM) frame buffer so that array conflicts are reduced between neighboring pixels. The present invention DRAM frame buffer contains a number of arrays (e.g., 48), each array containing a number of rows (e.g., 256), each row contains a number of bytes (e.g., 1024). Rows of arrays are used to store frame buffer information within the DRAM. There is a single row of sense amplifiers per array, so rows of the same array conflict since they cannot be open at the same time. In an alternative embodiment, some neighboring arrays share the same row of sense amplifiers so neighboring arrays can conflict. The DRAM memory is configured such that for any given central pixel, its four spatially neighboring pixels (up, down, right and left) are not stored (1) in a different row of the same array as the central pixel nor (2) stored in a different row of any other conflicting array.
