Moving the SB3 isn't exactly a major logistical operation. You don't
need the amp & speakers. Just take the SB3 and pair of headphones
upstairs and connect it to the router via wired ethernet. Finding out
whether your playback problem is wireless-related is the first thing to
establish so you can limit what needs to be checked. If it still
stutters when connected via ethernet, there's no point doing any more
wireless tests. And if it doesn't stutter via ethernet, there's no
point doing anything other than fix the wireless network.

Ah right. Sorry, I got the impression from your original post that
perhaps the SATA disk was OK. It's still worth checking that the IDE
disk is running in DMA rather than PIO mode, though.

I've heard stories of some optical drives not playing nice with disks
on the same IDE channel. If you can move the disk to a different
channel that would be worth trying.
