    Its probably a really dumb question, i know theres a clear difference, but does the 9400 clearly blow the x3100 out the water? also;
    i heard the white macbook was being discontinued.
    why do the new whitebooks not have a 2.4 processor
    How much difference is 2.0/2.1ghz vs a 2.4?
    Why isn't there a 2.4 + 9400m option? is it a heating issue?
    TY!

    It does but there are also a lot of graphics that blow 9400M G out of the water as well.

    Which isn't that powerful. Basically if you play games, you'll want the 9400 (even tho its not great for gaming) but its better than the Intel. However if you don't play games, you'll probably notice no difference.

    exactly...if you don't game, you should go for an x3100 or if you want better windows aero experience, then go for the x4500 but i guess it's the old gen macbook we're talking about, so it's the x3100.
