Leftover GPU rig

Hi,

I was just wondering... 

i got 3 cards i dont use anymore... amd5870/6950/7950

Is it possible to put these cards in one motherboard? (without crossfire of course)

i mean... does windows recognize all 3? or do i need linux ?

thank you

Yes, I ran a 5870, 6970 and a 7950 all off one machine.  I think I used 12.8 drivers on Windows 7.

i mean... does windows recognize all 3? or do i need linux ?

Why wouldn't it?  Windows is good for 5 GPUs, after that I think there's issues, and I'm not even sure that issue exists with Windows 8.
