Save to RAM: This mode saves power by turning off the microprocessor
and DMA clocks, video, and all controllable peripheral devices. The
computer still uses some power while in this mode. If you leave your
computer in Save to RAM for several days without the power cord
attached, the computer’s battery will discharge.

Save To Disk: This mode provides the greatest power-saving capabilities
by essentially turning off your computer. In this mode, all system logic
(except for your computer wakeup circuitry and battery charger) is turned
off. During save to disk mode, the DRAM and video memory are saved to
the hard drive and are restored when your computer resumes operation.
