What are the specs of the 802.11n on my mid-2009 13" MacBook Pro? Is it a 2x2 with 5 and 2.4 GHz?

I just ordered the new Airport Extreme which is a dual-band 3x3, and I was wondering what sort of speed I should expect out of it. I'm guessing something like the 2010 MacBook Pro.

Also, are all the MacBook Airs now 3x3?

The sys info for my MacBook Pro (2009 13") says the Airport uses firmware BMC43xx. Yes that's a Broadcom chipset, but there are a lot that are in that category. I'm still guessing it's a 2x2 model like that above 2010 MacBook Pro. While it's not a 3x3, I think I'd be happy with a 2x2 that was as fast as that 2010 MBP with the new Airport Extreme.

Do the new Airs have the same 802.11n chipsets as the new MBPs?
