I edited your title for clarity.

Does your MacBook Air freeze when it comes out of sleep? Is that what you meant to say? Please give us more detail. Also, year and model and version of OS X you're running?

He mentioned the version of OS X (Snow Leopard). He hasn't told us the specific model of Air, or if he's added RAM recently, or if anything's changed recently, or what maintenance he's done, etc.

Can Ram be added to the air? Soldered to the Logicboard.

Even if you didn't add ram lately it doesn't mean that you don't have faulty ram chips.
When your macbook goes to sleep if basically copies the ram to the hard drive, but still gives power to the ram in case you open the lid. When it wakes up you shouldn't have problem.
Can you test the ram? Testing RAM - Mac Guides

A Macbook AIR has soldered in RAM. If the RAM is bad, you throw it out basically or get a new logicboard.
