How many ports can one 1841 support?

Hi,

I have a Cisco 1841 router. There are two fixed FastEther interfaces and two slots.

I am going to add two 4-port EtherSwitch HWIC cards into these slots. Can I get four router interfaces when I added these two cards into the router? That is two built-in interfaces and two interfaces on two cards, totaly four interfaces.

My concern is that I read a sentence from Cisco website for 1841 "When two HWICs are installed in the same chassis, they have to be physically stacked together." Does it mean even though I add two cards into the slots, I get only one more router interfaces, totaly three interfaces. So a 1841 can support max three router interfaces, right?

Thanks,

Justin
