Even faster than that but just as sure- record a stereo pair and then save it as a .wav file with 48 different names.
Next apply some realtime effects on a smaller # of tracks and see when it craps out. You need to know both limitations on your system if you really want to know how many tracks you can really use.

alright heres the break down at 24 tracks of 1 min of audio
i applied 1 real time effect to each track up to 23 on the 24th it droped out so at 24 tracks of audio and 23 real time effect my cpu%75 and disk%50. is that good what can i do to make it better? my puters specs are at the beginning of this thread. thanks

Not saying these test are not important. But really, record something in a real way, record some more tracks, do some effecting... Does it drop out or change in sound with a certain amount of tracks? I don't think you need 48 tracks, test it in a real world situation. If you do need 48 tracks, try it with whatever your working on. Not full takes, but just scratch.
