I find those sleep/resume results interesting, as in counter-intuitive at least as far as how I would have assumed it worked. I had not realized that sleeping and resuming got faster if you had more ram. I wonder why this is the case.
Of course hibernating takes longer when you add more ram, as well as resuming from hibernate, but that's entirely understandable as you have to write the ram contents to disk and more ram means more ram contents means more time to save those contents to disk.
But why would sleep/resume be nearly 2x faster with 2x more ram?
(FWIW I have 8GB in my main rig, I hibernate but not sleep)
Yellowbeard, unrelated but are you allowed to comment at all on the timeline that we consumers should have our expectations set for the arrival of 4GB DDR3 desktop dimms at any speed? (non-registered non-buffered)
I see newegg is selling 8GB dimms of registered DDR3, which makes me think 4GB of the standard plain vanilla stuff can't be to far behind.
