@Pk9394 - right, that's why i want as low as possible a configuration that won't affect the quality of streaming (and possibly web browsing).

@largedarryl - i will be sending the data over a wired GB network (the placement of my ps3 made wireless really unreliable). I just read that the PS3 is GB enabled but the XBox 360 is only 10/100.

To break up the questions for easy answering:

1. CPU doesn't matter because there is no crunching of data?

2. Will 2 GB RAM be enough even if I end up with Vista?

3. If I'm converting files from one format to another, should I get a better CPU?

4. If I'm streaming the data, I assume that it is the PS3 that is doing the crunching so the computer's graphics and sound card doesn't matter?
