Is there a reason you prefer hibernate over standby? Standby is generally
much quicker both entering and leaving it. With hibernate, you must go
through a normal BIOS boot cycle, and when Windows boots it loads the saved
image from the hibernate file. With standby, memory and CPU are kept in a
standby power state, so there is no boot cycle. Hibernate is really more
for laptops than desktops.
