Retro-Precise Puppy


Please use the "normal" Precise Puppy, unless you have a specific need for Retro-Precise.

The "normal" Precise Puppy requires an i686 (or greater) CPU that is PAE-capable.

Some early Pentium CPUs, such as some of the Intel Pentium-M series, are not PAE-capable. All later CPUs are, including those made by AMD.

Those Pentium-M's were manufactured around 1995 I think.

If you try to boot the "normal" Precise Puppy on one of the PAE-incapable CPUs, it will fail to boot.

Some other differences
