Amount of ram should not be a relevant key value for benefiting of 
hibernation.

Suspension/hibernation state is being triggered by "events" (pressing 
power button, closing lid or after being idle for an amount of time). 

Besides, they can be called by hand (manually launching the appropiate 
command) or automatically by DE (KDE powerdevil may have set some power 
saving profiles in use).

If you are using "profiles", just setup one that disables hibernation at 
all, then apply that profile and you are done.
