STR

  1. Short for Suspend-to-RAM, STR is a process the computer undergoes when a computer enters suspend mode. Any information that is currently utilized is stored in memory, allowing other components in the computer to be turned off to help conserve power. When the computer resumes, the information is then returned back to its original state.
  2. Shorthand for Send to Receive.
  3. STR is shorthand for Strength. This is commonly a specific character statistic, referring to how strong the character is or how much power the character has. In MMO games, items that a character can wear and use (armor and weapons) will sometimes be enhanced or improved by the amount of Strength a character has. The amount of damage a character can inflict on another player or creature will sometimes be enhanced by their Strength statistic, as well.
