Suspend-to-RAM is more fraught with difficulties in implementation. When you resume from a suspend-to-disc operation, the hardware is fully re-initialised. The same cannot be said for Suspend-to-RAM, and so it is difficult to tell what state the hardware is in. -- "The statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." - Mark Twain, "The Mysterious Stranger", 1917
