Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

So does anybody have a rough track number in their head for their Logic Pro's limit?  
Without an Ensemble.

Audio Hardware:   I tried both my MOTU 8-Pre and my MBox (1).  

Logic Version:  7.2.3 (Academic)

OS:  10.4.8

File Type:  .wav (created in Pro Tools) 44.1/16 bit I think.  

Intel Macbook

Not sure what you mean by "checking the mixer/audio routing."  

Thanks for any input.
