Hi everyone.
I have a Macbook Pro mid-2009 with a 2,66ghz Intel Core 2 Duo and Intel GeForce 9400M 256mb (and also the 9600M, but it uses way more battery!). I am considering upgrading my computer soon.
However, I would like to know if I can expect the hardware acceleration to be better on newer computers viewing online video on f.ex. YouTube or any flash site as BBC iPlayer as well as NetFlix (using Silverlight). Currently my computer uses up to 80% of my total CPU capacity, and up to 100% viewing Full HD video in full screen.
I hope you can help me answer my question.
Regards,
Niels.
Since this is a Mac specific matter, I'm going to move this from CPUs to All Things Apple. I've also retitled the thread to better describe your question and hopefully get you a better answer
