Maybe it's not Hibernate I use because it doesn't save on disk: it's much faster than writing (or reading) 2 Gb on disk, and if I unplug, I need to reboot and it says that there windows wasn't turned off properly. I'm pretty certain the RAM is still on, and the rest of the computer is off. When I turn it on, it's ready in matters of 2 or 3 seconds.
