That's not very useful without a stack trace.

Sort of. Compare the panics and their stack traces, if most of them  
come from the same kernel subsystem it's not likely your hardware. If  
they come from all over the place it probably is.
My beige G3 has no such troubles, neither does any of my other  
machines. It might help to change your IDE cables though, faster  
modes not working reliably is usually a sign of a bad cable.

have fun
