Surprisingly - it would be difficult to speculate accurately what the path
will be from something that exists to something that doesn't exist.

If history applies in this case - to go from SP3 RC# to SP3 RTM - it will be
recommended (if not necessary) that you uninstall RC# and install RTM.

I think speculation would not be necessary. In most instances,the upgrade
path from a RC to RTM is reported from Microsoft with the RC version
documentation. But in this case, and the Vista SP1 case, I have not been able
to find the information.

Uninstall SP3 RC1 and then install SP3 RTM.
