Are 2 and 3 antenna Airport Extreme cards interchangeable?

I have a Macbook with a failed 2-antenna Airport card.

Can I use a 3-antenna N-compatible Airport card in the computer? I have access to one for free. Or do I need to buy the 2-antenna model?

If the 3-antenna card works, how do I hook up the antenna wires?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Maybe

EXPRESS N cards require a certain buss speed, as well as a software patch for OS 10.4+ to enable them.
