woaa.....great, all this time I always use 32 bit version. Thanks for the info!mikeb wrote:Yes 64 bit.
It means you can use more than 3.5GB of ram. That may make ram greedy software like browsers faster.
Give it a try out.

Webcam on Mac running Puppy
Hi efdeel,
Just found this thread. Regarding your original post about getting iSight working with your webcam, I previously posted this link to your initial thread. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1094973 ... g-on-18-04
While there are alternatives to iSight, whatever webcam software you use would require that it work with your computer's webcam, hence the need for a driver. Unless you acquire a different webcam.
Sorry, compiling drivers is 'above my pay grade'. But hopefully someone --on the basis of the information contained in the above post-- may be able to assist you.
Alternatively --depending on your needs and tolerance for using an external webcam when your computer has an internal one-- perhaps someone can advise you which ones of the many inexpensive webcams on ebay may work with your Puppy.
