Check from network if available. X freeze is not same as machine freeze. Only 
time machine freezes is when a driver locks up. It happens with X on i810 
sometimes but very rarely.

That's partitally true. SO5.2 desktop is gone and SO is definitely faster. 
However when you launch say SO word processor and spreadsheet, they are 
actually two threads of same program. So it does really load as much as it can. 
When it will shed that load, it will be hell faster..

Check display driver and Have some good amount of RAM, like 64MB at least. 
128MB recommended.

By any chance is mobo at fault? try compiling kernel. May be an older mobo 
started to show cracks?(Older is relative etrm. Anything older than 6 months is 
old...)
