will Cedega run under OS X? i just returned a Dell laptop and am considering either a Sager 3790, or possibly a iBook. if Cedega can run CoH under OS X, i'm liable to go for the iBook

Nope, it won't run on PPC (I wish! My real computer is a Mac running Linux, heh). Wine/Cedega isn't really an emulator, but more of a runtime library that redirects Win32 api calls through libc (and whatever else, xlib and a bunch of other stuff probably). So it requires an x86 compatible CPU, as the code is still more or less executed natively rather than interpreted.
At least that's how I understand it. You may be able to use a real emulator such as Bochs or vmware or something to run a copy of windows and CoH on os10, but I have a feeling it would be godawful slow, and I don't think any of those emulators provide access to the 3d hardware.

While this was true, with the introduction of Tiger on Intel, I have been able to install and run CoH on my Athlon FX65 under OS X Tiger. Albeit that some applications are still horrible under Tiger, the support is coming and should be a serious gaming platform. THIS IS MY OPINION!!!!
I know I will be getting some flame here but I like the look and feel of OS X. While running CoH, I had major issues with drivers, hardware compat. and not having any resources to solve some of the coding aspects. e.g.
getting CoH to get past a loading other than going to Atlas.
Well, thats it. As for playing with an iBook, step up and get a better laptop....Intel with Tiger.
