i find hybernation to be really handy aye basically after a specified time it saves the contents of your ram and then shuts down everything except its most vital "stuff". then next time you start up the computer it starts superfast and goes back to exactly what you wher doing / programs you had open when you hybernated

It's really meant for laptops. Basically, it sets a portion on your HD aside equal to the amount of ram you have, and writes the RAM to to this portion when you enter hibernation.

For a desktop, unless you're using a UPS, I'd say just try to use Suspend-to-RAM. At least with my machine, it basically cuts it completely off(no fans or anything) but goes right back to where it last was. No waiting though post or anything.

A.K.A., standby

In order for all the fans and stuff to turn off, you have to go to BIOS and set suspend mode to something like "STR/3".
