13" MBP gaming: 2009 vs. 2010

[ryansebiz]

Hey guys - I have the 2009 2.26GHz 13" MBP. I currently play L4D2 on it, but it's pretty choppy. I'm looking at getting Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age Origins, but I'm worried my 9400m won't be able to handle it.

Would upgrading to the new 13" with the Nvidia 320M be worth it to run these games?

There will be an improvement in performance.

Well it's going to be an improvement but not as good as the video cards in the new i5's.
