S4 is suspend-to-disk, S3 is suspend-to-RAM.

Last I checked, ACPI does suspend to memory or disk, using swsusp. It's
even all integrated into the 2.5 kernels (though the CONFIG_SWSUSP option is
buried in the kernel hacking section rather than ACPI). If you don't want to
run an experimental kernel, then you can patch 2.4.x from the acpi.sf.net
site.
