I've always been more of a PC guy than a Mac guy, but I think even the most ardent PC supporter will admit that graphics intensive operations are generally much snappier and responsive on your average Mac, as opposed to your average Intel or AMD notebook.

But things just might get a bit snappier, and a bit more responsive, as it has been unveiled that the new line-up of MacBooks, aluminum casings and all, are going to feature the first mobile part in NVIDIA 9000 series -- the 9400M.

The 9400M should be a significant step up from many other integrated graphics solutions. The 9400M will support NVIDIA's CUDA parallel processing language, as well as OpenCL (Open Computing Language.)

From playing some less intensive games, to video streaming to making a highlight reel montage of your favorite moments in the wild world of curling,  the 9400M will help MacBook'ers get even more graphically intense.
