s3 is what you want, thats how mine is labeled. It wasn't in my mobos manual either.
If its supported by your mobo (if its shown it is) its up to xp to do the rest. If your worried change the setting, reboot, and make sure your dont have any programs running in the background. Then try to stand by, If it works right your done. If it doesnt next time you reboot go back into the bios and change the setting back to s1
