Not really noobi.

The PFP is Marzocchis equivalent to Yamaha and Showas ICS Spring, or WP/Ohlins N2 Charge (bladder/piston).

The internal chamber basically follows the same principals as a shocky, using pressure to reduce cavitation. A shock uses a resevoir and nitrogen (either via a bladder or piston). The PFP does the same to thing to the cartridge. Now think of a shock running very low pressure, and then one running a higher pressure. What the PFP does is allow an external adjustment for the fork.
