Vertex Buffer Objects

Encapsulates vertex array data in objects, almost like texture objects.
VBOs are stored server-side, not client-side like conventional vertex arrays. Advantage: drawing “over the wire” only requires sending a glDrawArrays command, not 1000's of glVertex commands.
Can store vertex data more compactly than display lists.
Allows new OpenGL driver optimizations.
