*I know about DAVE its a very nice networking package for Macs and PC's personally I use the inbuilt networking between the Mac and the PC but thats a matter of preference.
However if you are running pc applications on an intel Mac with Bootcamp and I do not think that DAVE runs pc or mac applications, unless I am mistaken and please correct me if I am wrong, then the NTFS file format write limitation will matter a lot especially if when files are very large.
