HFS for my PCs, or NTFS for my Macs? EXT3?

Which should I install?
FAT32 is unacceptable.

 I don’t get it, are you looking for a file system to load OSX on?

No. I am looking for OSX software that will mount my EXT3-formatted USB harddrives.

You could download and install NTFS-3G on your Mac, then format your USB hard drives as NTFS on your PC and still be able to read/write to them from your Mac.

Seconded. That way you have easy portability if you move those NTFS HDDs or NTFS thumb drives to another Windows or Linux machine and don't want to be bothered with installing HFS support.

You could also connect the drives to another machine and interact with it via NFS, Samba, or SSHfs. This way your files would still be stored in ext3 or 4 (why not go for ext4?), but one of these respective network services will handle the mounting and I/O requests.

Ahh, I think I may have misunderstood, you are looking for a drive you can move back and forth between your Mac and Windows... Sorry!

Easiest way is probably ext2. Use FUSE on the Mac (the native driver doesn't seem to be maintained anymore) and one of the many native ext2 drivers on the Windows side.

The new Mac Pro has up to 30 MB of cache inside the processor itself. That's more than the HD in my first Mac. Somehow I'm still running out of space.
