Dug out an old 160 gig Replay drive & formatted to Fat 32, put some assorted video clips on, looks spectacular from my 1080p FPTV..

I put some Replay mpegs HQ from HD down converted "Rock Star Supernova" on the drive, I like the way the PS3 gos to the next clip...
The way I have my network setup I have to go wireless to use my pc as a media server, did same last night, not that great at streaming some HD... (used tvversity & WMP11) might try the Sony streamer next...
I have that one, couldn't remember the name... last time I tried was with a single core pc though. (have a quad)
I tried to use VUZE as a media server from my computer wirelessly to my PS3. The video kept freezing and glitching, it even seemed to act up when I hardwired the ethernet. I got at 2 TB HDD and plugged it directly into the PS3 and the video works great now.
I moved my PS3 to a room close to the router and have fair results streaming over wireless (need a faster router) with both TVversity & WMP11 .... I use a EHDD with good results for media.
The problem for PS3 and its sad really b/c it is a better device than the xbox 360 especially coupled with ps3 media server is a despicable thing called CINAVIA which interferes whether you own the movie or not.
Got a new router a couple weeks ago Linksys EA4500, no problem streaming now... came across the new Amazon app, lots of content I want there.
