How sure are you its an 8400m...

AFAIK, all macbook pros come with 8600m's. Bring it to the store?

It's true, just that the higher-end models have 256MB of VRAM.

If you check the specs from apple support, I can't find a C2D 2.2 that doesn't have the 8600.

NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT with 128MB of GDDR3 SDRAM and dual-link DVI
