[thin ice]

See you're still thinking about the upgrade Alecio. I have loaded mixes that were almost maxed out on my Mix system and had space left on HD2 Accel. There are a few reasons for this and it might not always be the same. However, some plugins are now chip sharing that were not in Mix days and of course each chip is more powerful. You would also have the option of a more powerful computer with more RTAS capability. Beware if you use ADC though. This will take a few slots. I wouldn't recommend to anyone to upgrade to a PCI system though as you'd be stuck one rung further up the ladder with computers.
