Hi Wyatt,

I'd try bumping it up to at least 16GB.   There should be no issue with that 
seeming as your machine has 32GB of RAM.
Also, I did a quick google search, and it does seem like you might be able to 
hook up an NVIDIA GPU to a mac using an external GPU?  This article is from a 
few years ago, but might offer some insight?

It might be a cheaper alternative than buying a complete separate machine.  
I've never done this before so I can't guarantee that CAVE would work if you 
got it working, but it might?  Just a thought.
Also if you do build a separate machine for AWIPS purposes, I would recommend a 
Linux (Centos/Redhat) operating system.
