Ok...on my Mac Pro I'm running Vue 6 Infinite, Poser 6, C4D XL, Adobe Creative Suite CS3 and Modo...all on windows. On the Mac side I'm running Maya (which I use to verify my shader programming).
As I mentioned, you have to make sure that your windows program supports the EFI boot up sequence of a MAC, as there is no BIOS. As I said, I've only heard of problems with 3DS Max, but not confirmed it myself.

For a consumer accessible peice of hardware (and when money is a second consideration to speed), then the 8 core Mac Pro can't be beat IMHO. In fact I will defy anybody to get a windows box of the same spec at a vastly better price...you will be talking change in peanuts if you can even source the hardware in the first place.

kuroyume0161 - I take your points, but only a mug buys extra RAM from Apple...always go the 3rd party route ;0) As I said, if you want 24Ghz of processing power NOW...then an 8 core Mac Pro is the only way to go.
