I've been really happy with this 5-port IOGear card from OWC: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/IOGEAR/GIC251U/ They're listing it at $18 right now. It should make syncing with MP3 players or downloading pictures from your camera faster, too. But I've never used the sleep feature on any of my computers; they're either on or off. So, I don't know if this card affects my Mac's ability to sleep. -- Rich
