can anyone say how good this support is? For example could it play spore?

I ask because its a new game that runs on a macbook under XP but not OSX (xp supports the 950 but osx version does not)

There IS directX support. However, I wouldn't even begin to suggest playing any type of graphically intensive games through virtualization. Stick with dual-booting as that is still the best way, unless a game can play through WINE/Crossover or native to OSX. I remember trying to play Starcraft through Crossover/VMWare Fusion and it didn't like it, one bit.
