shutting down question[solved]

[oldbiddie]

M3. When leaving, I am asked whether to ´suspend to Ram or to disk´. What does it mean? I just let it shut but I am curious about the difference
TIA

Hi,
Suspend to RAM: stores the machine state in RAM, so it keeps the RAM running
Suspend to disk: stores it on the hard drive, this mode save more energy but is slower to wake up.

thank you. So if I don´t choose any, what does it do?

hi

If you have justed clicked on leave / shut down, the countdown timer will count from 30 sec to 0 and then turn off.
