turrbo/Scott,
In my 8+ years of supporting MS products for a living, I've found the most common cause for random freezes is some kind of network issue. In the case of WinXP/SP2, with it's new firewall, I'd first look at what might be trying to 'reach out' to somewhere and is being blocked. Try disabling the firewall for a while and see if it continues. Could be an app trying to do an autoupdate, or an IRC thing or something.
I've decided that WinXP is not necessary and we're staying with Win2K for a while, so I can't offer more specific advice. XP needs to mature a bit for me.
