You might also want a swap partition (but less than 2Gb will usually do) if you want to setup your PC to suspend to disk.
In this case, the suspend script saves the barest minimum of your allocated physical ram to your swap partition - things such as cached files, buffers etc are ignored. When you next boot, the startup procedure cheks your swap partition for a suspended system and if it finds one, loads restores it.
AFAIK you cannot use a suspend file to achieve this, it must be a swap partition.
