I have a dell inspiron 1501 with an amd64 turion x2 processor. I had the same problem (locks within less than an hour of boot at random) and have been stable while running vmware and taxing my network interface since disabling apic with a combination of the noapic and nolapic boot parameters passed to the 2.6.17-10-generic kernel. noapic alone did not work for me, i needed both. My distribution is kubuntu edgy. -noah
