You mean 3x wireless cards? If so, then yes, that can be done.

There is a huge difference between

* One radio with 3x3 MIMO
* Three radios with whatever

You can stick 3 radios in a RB493G, but you can't do 3x3 MIMO with it as those cards are all miniPCI-e and the RB493G only supports miniPCI cards.

i am not sure 3 radio minipci can do configuration 3x3 or not, but I am sure it is not relate to pcie or pci
