I haven't upgraded my network in several years since I made the switch to g and it's time for a new router. I've done some searching but couldn't really find definitive answers to my questions.

I would likely purchase a dual band linksys router as I want to put the second PC and xbox on G as I don't see the need to upgrade them to N. However I want to run the PS3 on N on the second band. My understanding is that this is possible however will the G band have a negative effect on the N band or are they truly independent?

Secondly do I really need to go through the trouble of setting up a bridge so that the PS3 can utilize N. I notice when streaming video from my PC that I sometimes get stutter and I'm wondering if it's just an issue with the old router of if 54mb/s simply isn't enough?
