3ds Max 2009 running in OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leopard. This is a 3 years old iMac 24' white, Core 2 duo 2.33GHz, 2GB RAM, 7600 GT 256MB, 500GB HD. 3dsmax is running on a optimized windows xp install, under Parallels Desktop in Coherence Mode. The render speed was very impressive. It took 38s vs. 36s on windows 7 on bootcamp. The viewport speed it's not so great but acceptable at 32fps vs. 112fps on native windows. Later I'll test the same scene on the new VMWare Fusion 3.0 for comparisson. Thanks!
and here's the VMware Fusion 3.0 version:
