It's the P4P800S-X. I've never tried the suspend-to-disk feature (S4) 
with this board. Suspend-to-RAM (S3) is so much faster so I focussed on 
that. While the support for S3 and S4 is fairly new in Linux (I think S3 
started to work well for me around 2.6.18 or so) it's been supported in 
Windows for much longer. So my guess is that there is a good chance your 
hardware will support this, especially for S4 (= Windows "hibernate" 
feature), and also because it is Asus, which in 15+ years of buying 
their products have often surprised me by correctly supporting more 
obscure features.

Having said that, in reading this list for the last couple of years I've 
heard people report that wakeup using the clock and with other devices 
(e.g. USB) works in some states and not in others, depending on the 
motherboard. Unfortunately it's the kind of thing that's not usually 
documented for the motherboard, so I guess you'll have to try it out.
