Transfering files from a PC to a Mac

How easy is it to transfer files from a PC to a Mac. Can it be as simple as plugging in an external HD and viewing files on the Mac.

Is extra software needed to run Windows side by side on a Mac PC?

What memory would be needed for the newer Mac Mini's? To get it to 4gig? (Exact memory type)

Cheers

Just trying to figure out how to transfer some files to a new Mac Mini i am buying soon. I have all my data saved onto an external USB hard drive.

Would i be better off formatting my External to FAT32, then putting everything back on it before transferring to the Mac?

What about running windows and OSX side by side. Is that easy to do. Does it work flawlessly?

Bootcamp is the best way then

That's the easiest option.

Would rather do it myself!
