Gigabyte slow to wake fixed by BIOS update

I am running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit with 8 GB of RAM on a Gigabyte
GA-EP45- UD3P (rev. 1.6). It took close to 20 seconds to wake from "Sleep" with
default power settings. "Hibernate" is set to "Never," and I tried turning-off
"Hybrid Sleep," which did not help. BIOS is set for S3 (STR). Something was
just not right, so I updated the FC BIOS dated November 2009 to the current
FE. Now, I'm back in business in two seconds.

Just so you know.

Must be nice to have all those Extra Energy $$$$$ for Sleep mode .
