| Ah. Looks like i'll end up going the hibernate route from now on then. Shame as i've used S3 for a long time simply because it allowed me to get back to exactly what i was doing in an instant. Whats even more of a shame is that before i upgraded the board, i could get from full power to S3 mode in less than 5 seconds and vice versa. Think i'm gonna put that board, the e21XX i have and the "old" corsair PC6400 in my dads machine. He's still using the original machine he bought me in 2003 (Duron 1600+, 512Mb ram, 20GB HDD). Think it's time he got an upgrade even if he does only browse the web and email.
