I have found documentation stating that a single 3750-x switch will support a maximum of 48 port-channels, but I need to know if the 3750-x are placed in a stacked architecture, does this maximum number increase?
I have a situation that may end up having up to 8 3750-x switches in a stack and every workstation (possibly more than 100) will require a port-channel to bind the network ports.
I can not find any literature that fully defines the maximum limitations in the switch's stacking mode.
Thanks,

Nope. Still the same.

Eight 3750X in a stack? I'm surprised you haven't soiled your pants yet. I wouldn't recommend anyone join 7 or MORE switches in a stack due to performance issues.

I think the actual deployed number is coming out to 6, but with this customer, you never can tell. :)
I came in to this well after the architecture was planned and sold to the customer, now it is just a matter of making it work.
It should not be too bad, considering the stacks are backed by 10gb uplinks to the core and the port-channels are to bond the ports to the workstations, so at least we are not hanging more switching off of them.
Thanks for the info,
