Always good to keep head in the sand ;-)

So does swsusp - it's mostly a driver issue. As I can verify on my dual core laptop.

swsusp works fine here (mem, disk) on x60 once you set an bios sata option to compatible.

The driver issues are the real, good to see work on bluetooth, firewire and so on..

Apparently, this is the case with Suspend2 as well on this hardware:

On my dual core hardware, I can get both working, but only "sort of" for now. Both still have problems with (surprise) various drivers.

Sure, sometimes one solution will work on some hardware and won't on another. But generally speaking, as of recent, both have similar success rates. Which, of course, is no accident - they rely on similar stuff in the kernel to do things.
