It's a PPC system so gaming is out of the Q. :-/

Granted, my cellphone's probably more powerful anyway. :-D

All this means is if you have a problem they can't help you unless you are running 10.6 or higher. Admittedly they may change the system in the future so it can't even run on 10.5 but I don't think that's right now.

As an aside, I run CoH on my Macbook Air (2nd ed, the dual core version, not the i3\5) and it runs on Lion perfectly. Or at least no worse than CoH runs on a PC as far as I can tell.

As a 2nd aside, as long as your Mac is Intel based you should have no problem running Snow Leopard. I have Snow Leopard installed on an original Macbook with no issues. I wouldn't want to run CoH on it mind, but that's just a minimum spec issue.
Heh, there's nothing saying that you couldn't just as easily pickup a cheap copy of XP and throw a windows partition on there just for the game if you're Really worried. :-p

Since Microsoft stopped distributing XP and legit copies are getting rarer, Windows 7 is actually cheaper now.
