FAT32 vs. NTFS

My new external hard drive (Western Digital My Book 500GB) came pre-formatted to FAT32. Currently, I have been alternating the drive between my PC desktop and my Apple iBook (mainly transferring files).

My question is:

Does this matter?

Do I need to re-format to NTFS?

If I re-format, will my Mac still be able to "see" or read the drive?
