Are you using the default Redhat kernel ?

I was having lots of freezes/crashes until I upgraded the kernel and now it 
has been running for 4 weeks without a problem.

I was pretty sure it was not the machine (P90) since it had been running 
RedHat 5.2 since it was released and had general uptimes of approximately 
200+ days.
