I need advice from proffesional drafters and designers familiar with Mac OS.
 
I am thinking of purchasing of a MacPro b/c as a photograher I use most programs in the Adobe suit quit extensively.  Mac seems to be the best when it comes to design and graphic presentation.
 
However I am aslo a beginning student in CADD design, and use Inventor, AutoCAD Arch, Solidworks frequently.  I know the latest MAC OS  supports Windows based programs through BootCamp, ..even allowing simultaneous operation of both Windows and OSX Leopord.
 
Are there any problems I should be aware of with this set up?
Do professionals drafters use Macs?
What are disadvantages of using BootCamp for AuotCAD?
Can 64 bit applications be run on Apples?
 
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  I am just a student but I plan to make drafting  my career.  What gear do I need to own to be successful, whether MAC or PC?
 
Thanks Again
