I have a dual Athlon that mysteriously locks up too. I've had hardware
problems with it in the past, but I thought I had it fixed with FC1 a
while ago, but then started having lockups again when I upgraded to FC3.

I thought it was the hardware problems coming back again, but I guess
there might be an Athlon SMP bug with the FC3 kernels.
