As long as swap is larger than ram, suspend should be OK with it.
Of course it is imposible to have 4 primary partitions if you have any
logical partitions since the logical partitions all share a primary
slot. Is /home by any change logical too? If not, you probably don't
have a swap partition since there was nowhere to put it. There is of
course no reason /home should be a primary partition anyhow.
