Explanation
Up until these PUPs came onto the Puppy scene, ALL 32bit PUPs could NOT take advantage of PC with more that 3.5GB of RAM. PUPs simply were NOT capable of using it. These 3 allow Linux to "scale" to the size of your system without impacting performance. in fact, all signs thus far show a significant increase in desktop performance for all applications. This leads to a much greater and happier user experience than was previously capable.
Since machine purchases today have 4GB of memory or more; And, older PCs users have already added 4GB+ to even old P4 systems, a need existed to allow PUPs to take advantage of all memory of the PCs.
So, these Puppy community leaders (leaders because they have provided enhancements which has provided improved performance and will take advantage of all of your memory, no matter what size PC you have, today.) on their own time and using their personal wealth for us, have donated new distros for our use. They spared no expense.
Their solutions show 2 major things
- having a PUP which takes advantage of your PCs features is obtainable
- a significant speed increase results from using existing CPU advances via these new distros
For 32bit Intels-AMDs-Vias, "Having a Puppy which can run all the way to 64GB is like moving it out of a cage into a Stadium to play in." Wow
We should all bow in a "moment of silence" to show our appreciation to these brave astronauts for guiding us here. And, we should continue to help future endeavors in whatever manner you can.
