10.2 has been quite stable for me ever since I disabled zmd. ;) That
said, I'm on 32-bit platforms, and it's possible you're hitting some bug
specific to 64-bit systems.
I hate to say it (because I don't want this to turn into a bashing
session), but my experience with SuSE 10.0 on AMD64 x 2 is almost identical.

10.2 on AMD64 (Turion) laptop, apart from some initial acpi problems
(solved by moving to a 2.6.20 kernel) has been solid (well apart from
needing to get round to dealing with the ati drivers to get the dual
head working)
