This is probally going to be shot right down but...

Would it be possible to play windows games on a mac if I patrioned the drive, installed linux and then installed Cengea (previously known as Wine, and Cengea 5.0 is coming in 11 days), or is there a version on Cengea for mac? Anyway, could I run windows games or would it still be a problem with the type of processor?

Same old problem man. Emulation is just not the way to go.

Solitaire plays fine on VPC. But I wouldn't try more than that.

Nope. Wine requires Linux on an Intel or AMD processor.

As a note of interest, Cedega has not been based on WINE for 4 years. This means the Mactel port of WINE will have none of the game support Cedega has.
