IRIX 3.3 is indeed required and shipped on VGX machines. And on them, it is
relatively stable (as stable as 3.2 is on a GTX, for example).

We are a beta site for IRIX 3.3 and are running it on machines other than
just VGX's. We have identified several incompatibilities between executables
compiled under 3.2 and run under 3.3. SGI is committed to fixing these
problems, and are doing an excellent job of tracking the issues.

If you're using anything other than a VGX, you are probably better off waiting
for the general release in August. It's my understanding that this will be
known as IRIX 3.3.1, but I don't work for SGI, so don't quote me on that :-)
