Eric,

 So long as you use the root file system (NOT QDLS!!!) you are limited
basically by amount of storage (Another reply had the chart with the
limits).

 I have one customer that has a single directory with well over 100K
.JPG files in it and it performs well. (a 720-2061) Just don't do DIR
*.* or bring it up in Windows explorer!!
 
 I actually asked someone from rochester this question and he asked if
the machine was still running. When I replied in the affirmative, he
told me "it's well over 100K then for sure!".
