Do you think the 2.6.8 will be ok? Someone suggested > earlier that I should use 2.6.11.

You can at least try 2.6.8, but there have been a couple of improvements over this version in more recent kernels: drivers cause less problems, swsusp should be a little faster and suspend more reliable. Also I'm not sure if 2.6.8 already supported suspening x64, but newer kernels are supposed to. So especially if you run into problems, try later version (but I think that's obvious). There's a lot of work being done WRT powermanagement, so at least that should only be getting better. FWIW, I myself am not using swsusp on my x64 hardware (yet), since it's running 24/7 anyway, but am a happy user of suspend2 on my x86 notebook.
