If you have it enabled in your bios, yes. Software Suspend2 is software based. It can but it does not need ACPI-sleep-modes from the bios. It dumps the memory to the harddisk and does a normal power-off. When you boot the machine it loads the kernel normally and then it restores the memory from the harddisk. I'm using the filewriter, so I don't need to repair the swap-space afterwards. You just have to take care about incompatible modules (DVB) and services (VDR, because it depends on DVB). The hibernate-script (which I would highly recommend to manage software-suspend) is a very good help to work around quirks.
