hi trevor im also working in a mac pro dualdual core 3,0 since 1,5 years with max and vray, i´m very satisfied, costs were lower then same configurations on a dell or hp the main issue is to use 64bit os to have to whole power of ram. i have both windows xp and vista 64bit apple dont support xp x64 so it would be better to use vista. on my mac pro i have the ati card. they have driver for xp x64 and its working on my macbook pro i have the nvidia geforce8600gt. the drivers from nvidia hompage didnt work with vista x64. so i have to use a rewritten driver. never the less the main problem you will have if you use your mac with windows os 64bit is that there is now official support, so you have to search a lot of forums to find a solution for your problems if accrue! i never regret switched to mac!

maybe one simple trick could be to turn on "2 sided" in your materials, so you do not have to change anything in the models. if not: for a visual response to your model, you can turn on "show normals" or put "edit normals" so you see the duplicate faces, and can delete them manualy! if there are too much of them a script would be good. take a look at scriptspot search for "duplicate face" or "delete face" there are some scripts, i didnt try them so i can not recommend you one" but you can post your experiance later.
