Your RAM does not go anywhere, but is only used by programs. As you close programs, the ram the programs was using becomes available again. If your computer is running slow, try cutting off or uninstalling unneeded programs. The more you have running at any given time the slower your computer will be. If the programs that use up all your ram are on your startup list go to < Start - All Programs - Startup > and remove the programs that you do not want starting with windows. They will still be on your computer so if your have no need of them at all, uninstall them to help increase speed.

Does hibernating a computer cost money?
Hibernating a computer costs no more than turning it off. All computers have RAM and a HDD. The ram stores information temporarily which is lost when power is lost, while the HDD is used for long term storage and is kept when power is lost. When you hibernate your computer it saves everything it is proccessing on the RAM at the time to the HDD. Then when you turn your computer back on it moves all the proccesses back onto the RAM. So... no, it shouldn't cost anymore than turning it off.
