What is the function of Suspend-to-RAM? (Standby in Windows 98/2000)

You can initiate full Suspend-to-RAM in Windows 98/2000 by accessing Start, Shut Down, Standby. This places the system in a deeper state of “sleep” and requires that you press the Power button to resume operation.

Putting your system into Standby initiates the Standby power-saving mode and is a convenient way of conserving energy when you are going to be away from your system for a short period of time.

What is the function of Suspend-to-File? (Windows NT)

In Windows NT, Suspend-to-File provides the greatest power savings by putting the system in a maximum power shutdown. When the system goes into STF mode, it saves data and system status and then shuts off power to all components. STF mode lets you save power without first saving your work. Resuming from STF mode requires less time than performing a cold boot.

Your system must be configured for STF. In the BIOS Power Management Setup, enable the “Auto save-to-file” parameter and set the “Suspend Option” to STF.
