You should use Standby if you are leaving your computer for only a few minutes. Put it in Hibernation when you are done for the day and won't access it again until the next day. Here is the scoop on Standby and Hibernation. Standby, shuts down all of the devices except RAM. Since RAM is not shut down your programs that you were working on are still in RAM and the computer will come alive faster. The bad news is if you suddenly lose power then you will lose whatever you were working on because it is still in RAM and not your hard drive. Hibernation, RAM is written to your hard drive and all devices are shut down including RAM. So you would not lose any information if you lost power. Put it in Hibernatiion when you go to bed, put it in Standby when you go grab a sandwhich.
