This is not true. VNC Server for Windows creates a buffer large enough to hold a complete copy of the server display, plus a second copy to allow differences to be detected efficiently. > On unix machines, where vnc provides a fresh display, the > display memory > is entirely in program memory.

This is true, with the caveat that VNC Server for Unix also keeps a differencing buffer, by default, so a 1280x1024x24 display will typically take up around 10Mb for the desktop content.
