The Thinkpad 240 has a similar limitation (BIOS suspend-to-disk works with 192M or less of memory, while the laptop can hold 320M). I can see that advantage- I was just wondering if it were faster, perhaps, or more reliable than BIOS suspend-to-disk for machines where both were available. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- * Charles Taylor <tomalek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> * Chemistry teacher, Linux enthusiast! -------------------------------------------------------------------- * Web: http://home.mindspring.com/~charletiv/ --------------------------------------------------------------------
