Question about Intel GMA 950 Chipset

I have a dilema. I have techno lust over the new Mac Book Pro, but I'm not sure if I can justify the cost. I am in the middle of planning a new desktop and gettig a Macbook, but if I get the MBP I won't need the new Desktop. I just don't know if the new MBP supports dual monitor set up for when i am using it as a desktop.

Bottom line is I have some time to do my research.

I know that the 950 chip set is capable of running vista al be it at low settings, but can it run the following

Supreme Commander (I am guessing not)
C&C 3 (again guessing not)
ArcGIS Desktop (maybe)
CADD

I really don't know how cabable the 950 chipset is. Its ability as a graphic accelerator almost makes my choice of Desktop + Macbook or Just Mackbook pro.

Thanks.
