    I have one of the new unibody MacBooks, as you can see in my signature it is an early 2009 version with the Nvidia 9400m. I never bought it for gaming or anything like that but the new Star Craft 2 game looks pretty sweet. Could my set up handle it? I am not looking for top notch game play just bearable.

    Thanks

    Lower settings should be fine.

    I have an early 2009 polycarbonate MacBook with the same basic specs as yours and I run SCII rather well. I have everything but unit models set to low. Regular framerate is about 35-40fps.
