I've been having a wealth of issues with my 'net connection at home, so haven't had the chance to try out the PAE sample wary. Will get onto it as soon as I can.
Hopefully the PAE kernel won't be too significant to the performance on the old pcs.
Obviously we can see that extra gig or so in the big machines, which is where this thread is aimed, but if the performance figures are on par on the old machines, then that's something to talk to Barry about including in future "standard" puppies.
I agree absolutely with this statement. 32bit OS's have better stability in my experience, probably due to longer development histories, but without a doubt 64bit is the future.I guess the point of PAE is for those who wants to stick to 32-bit puppies because of backward of compatibility reasons (wealth of ready-made pets, etc) but still want to maximise the usage of memory.
