For running Puppy Linux in ram, does AMD's on-chip mem. controler offer better performance than Intel's North-South bridges, all else being equal?

Yes.

Unlikely. It might make a difference, but for most apps, it shouldn't be too noticeable.

For Puppy Linux itself, you won't notice any real difference, but whatever programs you are running can only benefit from it.

Only high-bandwidth applications like server stuff will benefit.
