I don't think there are anything special with the Boxx machines. I have a 21 inch iMac G5 and it is perfect for the job. No problems what so ever.
I'm guessing the new iMacs are using the Geforce cards now; not ATI...
You can try this:
Go to /Users/[username]/Library/Preferences/Autodesk/maya/2008
Create a file (if it doesn't exist) called Maya.env
Enter these below into the file:
MAYA_SLOW_DRAWPIXELS = 1
MAYA_GEFORCE_SKIP_OVERLAY=1
Save and restart Maya.
Give that a shot.
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
