Have you considered using plain CSS floating boxes?
Here's some hastily put together snippet:
Your template:
----------------------
{% for a in articles %}
<div class="article">
.... render article a here
</div>
{% if forloop.counter1|divisibleby:"3" %}
<div class="clear_all"> </div>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
Your CSS:
------------------
.article {width:32%;float:left;overflow:hidden;}
.clear_all {clear:both;}
Experiment further to make things look nicer from here ;)
