I'm wondering how the dual booting Intel Macs work with EVE. Anyone given that a try?

No EVE will not currently run natively under any OS other than windows, there are ways to run it under a few versions of Linux and if you were to install something like virtual PC on to the mac and install windows it might run albeit slower than on windows, there haven't been any announcements about making a mac version as that would require having to maintain 2 client codebases and it makes patching a lot more difficult as you have to bugtest both the mac and PC versions to ensure you don't break anything on either of them.

They work just fine, in my experience. IIRC, there were a number of "HAY GUYS, YOU CAN PUT WINDOWS ON YOUR MAC NOW" articles that even included screenshots of EVE in them.

Yes indeed, it works fine under boot camp on Apple w/intel.

Yes if you own one of the intel based macs you can install a windows partition but that defeats the point of buying an expensive mac when you could just buy a cheap PC instead :)

Swimmingly. It also serves as a way to keep yourself from getting too addicted to the game, having to boot back and forth between Windows and OS X to do work and play the game and such. Unexpected pleasant side effect.

The dual boot ability isn't really a defeatist thing, essentially you've got the ability to work natively in either platform on the same machine. And for no additional money, save for the Windows license. :)
And Macs really aren't as expensive as most people think. For a purchased, pre-built computer, it's been the most well built thing I've ever used.

As some of you know, Transgaming has had EVE up and running for us linux users for awhile now. What some of you may NOT know is that they have been working on the CIDER wrapper which will allow game developers to release their pc titles to the mac in a very transparent way.
From the lead developer of transgaming recently in a 'blog' regarding the CIDER tools:
<snip>
We think that this is fantastic. Game developers and publishers are waking up to the fact that by the end of 2007 there will likely be more Intel based Macs in the market than there will be PlayStation 3s. Apple has made the Mac a far more attractive gaming platform than it has ever been before - and we're not just talking about the aesthetics here.
For Mac users, this is obviously great news - by next year, Mac users will start seeing titles released on both PCs and Macs on the same day. This means that no longer will Mac users have to wait months for a 3rd party port of the latest hot new title - instead they'll be able to pick the games up in-store and run it on their platform of choice.
<snip>
Transgaming
So 'next year' always sounds far off.....but next year is almost here. Whether there is any 'official' word yet or not, we do know that CCP and transgaming have been working very closely since the release of Blood, so it would be very straightforward to assume that they are also looking at the CIDER technology as well.
It'd sure be nice to get a bit more info from CCP on this one.

Will not run natively under OSX
Will run natively under Windows.. so if you have a intel Mac just install bootcamp on it.
Runs WONDERFULLY now in linux using Cedega. Interestingly enough I get higher frame rates in linux than in do in Windows.

That's probably because Linux doesn't have to have some 15 bajillion useless processes eating up CPU cycles, and isn't a memory hog like Windows.

I also have a dual booting Apple and like mentioned above I think this just gives you flexibility. Apple's really are not more expensive when you look at the features and the ability to run the best OS currently available.

I prefer Ubuntu to OSX....ain't choice awesome! 
OSX is a gorgeous OS, but another reason I prefer ubuntu is the simple fact that I build my own rigs, and x86 hardware + Ubuntu= the best choice for security, functionality and most definitely price. 
Under the hood, OSX is a kissin' cousin anyway, so I can't dis it. heh heh

I'm on one right now. Have a MacBook Pro. 2 ghz intel core duo 1.5gb of ram Radeon x1800 mobility
works splendid, got from 45-80 fps on average playing, with firefox, winamp and loads of stuff open that could slow down the fps.
only one thing about having windows on mac, you need to restart to go into Mac OS X and vice versa.
I think a Mac today is perfect.

I would never buy a Mac machine (Mac OS X would be a possibility if they let you install it on any other machine) as they're put together horribly and the nubcakes that Apple hired to deal with mail-in repairs are completely incompetent.
I worked at the IT department's computer shop while I was at university and it was always a PITA to deal with the Macs as you'd usually have to remove the whole motherboard to access the hard drive or something simple like that. We didn't even work on the iBooks as they were held together mainly with tinfoil and electric tape, so we sent them to Apple's third party service people. Those service people would often take a few weeks to "fix" the issue and send the machine back to us. And I use the term "fix" loosely, as often the machine would come back with even more issues than we sent it in with and sometimes we would have to send in the machine two or three times in order for those idiots to actually fix the issues.
So in summation, use Linux or Windows until Apple frees OS X from just being usable on Macs.

I have a 5gb windows partition on my black intel macbook only use it to run eve wich it does witout a hitch, eve works better on my macbook than it did on my old pc.

EDIT: and to all you people who spend your time telling people not to buy a mac because you dont like them, how about giving your self a break and just allow people to make up their own minds? And to the "IT" fellar, ive worked as a windows IT technician and administrator for more than seven years and I cant tell you how good it feels to be out, mac hardware hasnt broken on me yet and ive not experienced any problems with my tinfoil macbook. Please stop behaving like the mac is a threat to your existance and just allow people to make up their minds without your judgemental drivel.
I'm not saying Windows machines are perfect, I'm just saying they're a hell of a lot easier to fix if something goes bad and I had better tech support from Dell, HP, and Gateway and such. I saw about equal numbers of Windows and Mac machines coming in on a daily basis and it's a lot easier to quickly repair a Windows machine as the setups are usually designed for easier repair than Macs.
I can't tell you how good it feels to know I can easily fix my PC should something go wrong using off the shelf parts instead of being stuck waiting for Apple to return my machine.
Incidently, I have never had one of my personal Windows boxes go bad on me either.
Please stop behaving like people that don't prefer Macs are a threat to your existence and allow people to provide both positive AND negative information regarding your favorite product.
