Wine shouldn't cause the entire computer to freeze up if something fails, but your video card driver might.

im running duel channel 2GB ram ddr3 x2 (4GB ddr3 ram total
DDO definitely has a memory leak and its not unique to Wine, it happens in windows too. The biggest, most helpful workaround is that when changing zones, lower the texture detail to very low. You can change it back after you zone. And this only mitigates the problem from minutes to hours. Also, if you change characters, its best to quit and log back in. (The appdb used to have lots of good information and tips but they seem to have gone away recently...)
