Only in terms of better signal strength (due to three vs two or one antenna).

Since the signal strength is better, faster data rates can be maintained.

My netbook PC is only "G" but signal is good nearly everywhere in my home as compared to my older "G" router with a single antenna.

Same experience with my Linksys router when I tried replacing the original antennas with taller "high-gain" versions (made also by Linksys). The gains were just marginal at best but dead spots at my home were still dead spots.
