Default mix 24 track counts

Hey all,
I've got a protools LE setup and I'm thinking about getting something with a little more horsepower. I want to upgrade to a TDM system but can only afford the mix plus. I would like to know how powerful the mix 24 is. What are the track counts like with these systems if I only have the core card and what is the highest version of protools you can use with mix plus? Thanks

MIX hardware supports a maximum of 64 simultaneous voices. You can open a session with 128 tracks, but only 86 of them can be voiced. The last software version for MIX hardware is v6.4.1cs4.

Thanks for the reply. I actually probably didn't ask the question right. What I meant to say was, what kind of plugins, etc., can I use with one core card. How many tracks, with fx can I use? Thanks,
Josh M.

you have all the host dsp that was used for mising and tracks that is now available for RTAS. on top of that you would have at least 4 chips available for TDM (assuming your using 2 chips for mixing a 64 track session) and those 4 chips can be shared amongst certain plug ins. but yeah, you'll have way more juice and you can always get dsp farms for 200-400 bucks (4 chips) or Mix farms (6 chips) for 700-900 bucks.
