If I put an ATI 7000 (one of the PCI cards) into by SP 1.8 G5 running OS X 10.3.4, will I be able to "deep sleep" the computer?

Currently I'm running the BTO ATI 9600 card and an old ATI Rage "Orion" 128 PCI card driving a second monitor. The computer cannot sleep - I can sleep the monitors, but not the computer itself. I knew about this going in, it's old news. And I know I can run two monitors with the 9600. But I don't want to.

But the ATI 128 needs to go back to its old home (a Beige G3), and so I'm considering a new card. I could just get another 128 cheep (I've seen them go as low as $10 on eBay), but I figure I could get 7000 and have some real horsepower.

So: anyone getting deep sleep on a G5 with a second, PCI video card?
