I would try posting at the Mac forums. The majority of users here are custom pc builders. There may be a few mac users here, maybe.

Here's one I just googled up:

You can make the MAC dual boot, and run XP as the secondary OS for games.

Providing your uncles mac is a newer one using Intel cpus.

You can run MS Flight Simulator X on the Mac. Oh, sorry, not combat. What about the lastest in the IL 2 Sturmovik series?

1./ Install Bootcamp on the Mac
2./ Install windows (e.g. XP) on the bootcamp partition
3./ Boot to windows
4./ Run SPs and updates
5./ Install Flight Simulator X

(or for that matter, ANY flight sim, and MOST games)
