rschultz101 Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 additional info http://www.lifsoft.com/power/faq.htm S0/Working System is on. The CPU is fully up and running; power conservation is on a per-device basis. S1 Sleep System appears off. The CPU is stopped; RAM is refreshed; the system is running in a low power mode. S2 Sleep System appears off. The CPU has no power; RAM is refreshed; the system is in a lower power mode than S1. S3 Sleep (Standby) System appears off. The CPU has no power; RAM is in slow refresh; the power supply is in a reduced power mode. This mode is also referred to as 'Save To RAM'. S4 Hibernate System appears off. The hardware is completely off, but system memory has been saved as a temporary file onto the harddisk. This mode is also referred to as 'Save To Disk'. S5/Off System is off. The hardware is completely off, the operating system has shut down; nothing has been saved. Requires a complete reboot to return to the Working state. looking for working S3 mode, if you got a motherboard working, and know which state it's in post it, motherboard , S3 mode, bios, os x (10.4.5), patch ... thanks, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asap18 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 i do not think it is much to do with the motherboard as it is with the graphics card. I do not know which cards are compatible with Titan with Sleep, but i do know many people have had success with the ATI x1600 with the boris method/neopheus installer.
