I dont know how he manages to get these published
That would be S3 then, or Suspend to RAM - as supported by XP since its release ?We found out one super-cool option and we believe not too many people have mentioned it so far. Windows 2000 introduced hibernate, a very cool mode to save your work and shut the machine down.
Vista comes with a new option, called Sleep. When you press it, just like stand by it will give your machine a break. But the main difference is that it will completely shut your machine down and will turn off the PSU and the CPU/Chipset coolers and the hard drive. The machine will act like it is completely turned off.
No one has mentioned it, because its years old Mr Abazovic.
BrilliantAnyhow, this is the way the improved standby feature is presented by Vista. I still don’t know how exactly does it works but I suspect that it can power the memory modules with some minimal power and keep the information's on your RAM. We will investigate further. µ
