Also 3dsmax does not run on the Macs.

It does and its doesn't per se. You can run Connectix's Virtural PC version 5 (
http://www.apple.com/macosx/applications/virtualpc/). However they still have no direct access to your accelerator card. Also programs like Maya and 4d can import and export in 3d studio format.

The more ram you have is better but past 512MB you run into the problem of Errors in memory like switched bits. This can lead to a loss in system stability.

This was a problem with Windows 9x. It was a bug that was actually a simple fix. Windows XP can have unlimited Ram, because it corrected that problem.

Dual processing(SMP) is good, and 3dsmax can use it. However you cannot combine 2 cpu's of different speeds. Unless perhaps you have some very weird motherboard.

I'm not sure, but I think that you can connect a new CPU via PCI, that can dubbed as a another processor. The system should support this, as long you have drivers for it.
One other thing I wanted to say is that for Auto Cad, a bigger Monitor is better for your eyes. Yes you can increase the resolution, but it makes things smaller and just be annoying after a while.
