You say random lockups.. Ok, it may sound bizzare, but I was experiencing pretty much exactly the same thing with RC1 after I had installed the 4191 nvidia drivers and UT2003. Everything would freeze occasionally apart from the mouse pointer. I started noting that the lock ups were happening mainly when I was doing something in Konqueror (copying a file, renaming, opening, etc.). Now I have installed RC2 but have yet to install the nvidia drivers or UT2003 and I have not experienced any of the previous problems. This may be complete coincidence, but..
