You can have up to 9 Mix Farm Cards with that system. It is QUITE powerful, and awesome. Just no 96k and above ..........

Oh, and obviously you would need a expansion chassis once you want more cards than what can fit in your computer.
I would suggest a Magma Expansion Chassis, they are the best to me. (IMO)

But it's do'able, and 9 Mix Farms are the max that system ever could run. (to my knowledge, someone please correct me if I am wrong).

Hope this helped.

If I remember correctly both HD and Mix have a limit of 7 cards total, including the Core!

Well, I know that is the case with HD. But I could have swore that Mix (at the very end at the latest versions) was able to max out using 9 MIX FARM Cards, NOT including the "Core" card. I know in the beginning (before it was "24 Mix"), it was not able to support that many though. But towards the latest versions of both hardware AND software, it WAS.

I could be wrong though. But I am almost sure of it. (sure that I am NOT wrong - ha ha- not sure that I AM wrong !) LOL
