Actually, just tonight I learned that win2k (and probably ME + XP) do their suspend to disk into a file - hiberfile.sys I believe. So it seems to me that whatever the case is with suspending to disk, ACPI seems to 'allow' more control for where the OS writes it (perhaps to avoid the whole bios limitation of where to suspend / resizing the partition if you add more memory / etc.) - the trade off being that you are writing it to a file in an existing partition so you would need ram*OS's. This would support the fact that no such partitions exist - and I am curious about anyone with this laptop who still has a windows installation if they have such a file that's the same size as the amount of ram they have.
