Hi Roof,
I think there is a noise reduction opton in filters>noise>reduce noise, in CS3, Don't know how well it works. I use noiseware, does a great job.
hope this helps

I use "neat image' for noise reduction. The trade off being that the results can leave the image a little soft and in need of sharpening.

www.neatimage.com

and a good article on its use and effectiveness

I use Neat Image too. Using it as a PS plugin means you can be selective about where to apply it, which can reduce the issue with sharpness that Rick mentioned (though to be honest it does a pretty good job most of the time anyway.)
