I am wondering... I have heared that the maya 5.0 comes with Mental Ray... My question is if RAT 5.0 or 5.5 will work with Maya 5.0 ?

Nope sorry Rat 5.5 will not work with Maya 5, if you have a look
at Pixar/rat5.5/bin you will see that those mll. files are ment for Maya 4/4.5

Rat 5.5 doesn't work with Maya - the plugins fail to load with an error saying its an incorrect version of the API.

You can however have both Maya 4.5 and Maya 5.0 installed in different directories use Maya 4.5 for MTOR.
