Well, I had 3.3-RC on my box and now I have 3.3-RELEASE. I had no problems
at all except for one and that I tracked down to what I'll call user error.
I also have similar hardware as you do.
k6/2-300, 64mb ram, fic 503+ w/ VIA MVP4 chipset.
It may help to get a panic and possibly a crash dump to the list to get
someone's opinion on the errors your getting.
But to answer your original question, I don't believe there are issues
specific to 3.3-RC (or release) with your hardware that would cause frequent
(if any) panics.
