I can add more than 3 but I can't see all of them to adjust in X 1. thanks.

You have to use the little arrows just above the FX bin to scroll through them. Not sure if there is a way to display them all at once. I haven't seen one. Maybe in the Inspector somewhere.

awesome - I had thought that arrow was just for sends - thanks

Glad to help. It's still a bit of a pain but it saves screenspace compared to how other DAWs handle inserts. Cheers.

If you insert an effects module in Pro Channel, you get much more room to see all of the effects.  I no longer use the channel strip effects bin because of that.

what about the blank space at the top of the channel strip? could fit 3 or 4 more fx labels in there

Maybe it's just in later versions but as far as I'm aware you can simply expand the track size? I'm pretty sure I've had at least five visible at the same time?

It would be nice to be able to customize the console so that you could see all your FX without having to click the arrows - the current setup is a bit outdated in my opinion.  This will probably be implemented in Sonar X5 or something

I thing maybe just being to drag down the bottom of the bin could be cool or maybe a Fit All FX Bin Contents option.
 
Even better might be a flyout like the new Quad Curve. They already have the flyout code written. Hmm... then maybe even have it so if you click on an effect name in the flyout then the GUI pops open IN the flyout so you don't have to drag it around, dock it, hide it, etc.
 
Yeah... that'd be REALLY cool. Of course the bubble would have to adjust to the different sizes of each GUI and/or have scroll bars for the larger ones. I've always kind of wanted the GUI pop up windows and the dock to have scroll bars for the larger GUIs.

Whilst I agree that a totally revamped Fx bin would be not just nice, but useful as well, there is merit in using the Pro Channel to display all your active Fx plugins simultaneously.
 
This applies to Track View and Console View, as long as you have the Track Inspector open and the Pro Channel the active tab.
 
It also makes sense to minimise the height of each module/Fx Chain and just expand it when you want to use/view it.
 
The only downside is that any Fx plugs in a chain will need to be clicked twice to access the GUI - once top expand the Fax chain and a second to open the GUI
