I disagree. I noticed *no* measurable difference in power drain while in=20
suspend-to-ram between 1x 1GB stick and 1x 1GB stick +1x 512MB stick or=20
+1x 1GB stick. My T43 drains about 289mWh regardless.

To the OP: the single biggest contributor I've noticed was uhci/ehci usb=20
modules. Try removing them both and see if it helps.
