Suspend Mode Lets you select one of two suspend modes: Save to RAM and Save to
Disk.
Save to RAM conserves battery power by stopping almost all computer
activity, but leaves the computer ready to resume operations in seconds
when the power button is pressed. Save to Disk saves all system data
to your hard-disk drive and then turns off all power. Use Save to Disk to
conserve battery power or (in conjunction with Battery Low Suspend) to
preserve system data quickly if you are about to run out of battery power.
