I thought this woulda been in the FAQ, have you checked that yet?
Well, anyways, suspend shuts everything but the RAM off so you computer is still partially on, just not completely and when you resume, you start using your computer where you left off.
Hibernate is like suspend except that everything in RAM is dumped to the hard drive and the computer shuts off totally so nothing is running what so ever and when you turn the computer back on, the file on the hard drive is restored to the RAM and you are able to start working where you left off.
