Disk space in hibernation?

Ok so

when i go into the Power Options

under the "Hibernate Tab"

I see a check box to enable hibernation

i already know that part

but i usually leave it Unchecked, because stand by mode will

do the same thing like hibernation does!!

so why enable it?

but my question is that

the "disk space in hibernation"

______________________

Disk space required to hibernate: 1,014 MB

______________________

is this a bad thing?

i dont understand what do those numbers mean

but i do know that i have a lot of space to Run hibernation!

and its required to have 1,014 MB of space

in order to use Hibernation

is this a bad thing?

The basic difference between standby and hibernate is that while in standby mode, the computer is put in a low power consumption mode, in hibernate mode the computer is powered off, after saving your current status on the hard disk. Hence the disk space requirement, which is equal to your RAM size.

When do you use either mode?

When you are working %26amp; have to leave quickly for a short period and then resume, use standby.

When you want to shutdown your computer, but want to quickly resume all your applications (like office, browsers etc) the next time you power on, hibernate.

Hope I was able to bring the difference clearly.
