I just found out that it costs me about 18ドル per month to keep my main desktop computer running. (155 watts @ $.17 per KWh). I'm therefore examining some power saving features. I'm looking at hibernation (suspend to disk), but am confused by one thing: How big a swap partition do I need? I have 8 GBytes of RAM in my fairly new desktop computer, but I only have a 2 GByte swap partition. (Who needs a big swap partition with that much RAM?) I'm assuming that I need at least 8 GBytes of swap space to hold all my RAM when hibernating. Any use hibernation for a desktop?
