But... the dram refresh logic is already there, isn't it? A different thing would have been to have dram apart from main dram, so it would have required that extra dram refresh logic as you point.

But if the color ram would had been made part of the main ram, it wouldn't had needed dram refresh because that is already done by the chip.
