S3/4 hardware plus an S3/4 enabled operating system (Windows 98SE, Windows 2000 or Windows XP) allows for your system to be ‘Ready Now!’ providing ‘Instant On’ performance for users. The S3/4 allows the system to be “on” all of the time, especially with Windows XP Professional. When a user does not use the system for a specific period of time, the system goes to “sleep”. When the user is ready to use the system again, the system “wakes up” in a few seconds. When the system wakes up, it is at the exact point it was at when the system went to sleep. (for example: in the middle of a Word document) The S3/4 feature saves power and increases user efficiency (users do not have to wait for the system to shut down or re-boot).
