</div>I have my frontend using suspend to RAM and I recommend it as a great<br>
tradeoff between power savings and power on speed. I have a dual core<br>
Intel of some sort that my Killowatt meter registers at about 83 watts<br>
idle. Once the PC is suspended to RAM it takes only 9 watts.<br>
<br>
Suspend from RAM takes about 3-5 seconds (it is ready as fast as my TV<br>
is). My USB IR device will wake it up from sleep so I can turn<br>
everything on with my remote.<br>
<br>
All I had to do was enable suspend to RAM in my kernel, add an irexec<br>
command to hibernate on the IR power button, and a few small changes to<br>
tell the system USB devices should wake up the system.<br>
