Quote - I am running Vue 6 Infinite on a 8 Core 3.0ghz Mac Pro. I am thinking of upgrading to Vue 7 Infinite. I was curious if I would get any increase in performance by getting the 64 bit PC version of Vue and running it on Vista through Boot Camp?

Yes, you will, but I don't use Boot Camp because I find it a hassle to have to boot back and forth between the OS and save the files to my external hard drive for access. I found that for me personally, I saved time in rendering, but lost time having to work with the files and switching which was a wash in the end.

I too would LOVE for a 64bit version of Vue for the Mac and hope others will write in requesting it in their next major version of Vue 8.

Also, if you REALLY want to speed things up, you may want to look into doing a dedicated RenderCow, RenderNode, or whatever the 3D company calls it for their software. It basically takes a machine, say a Mac Pro and turns it into a full time render machine off loading the work so you can continue designing. It's only limited by the money you have as you can do several dedicated "farms" if you wanted to and speed was that important for your work flow.
