Apple just updated the specification of the entry-level MacBook, aka "white model". It now sports the same hardware as the unibody models, and has its much faster graphic chipset the NVidia GeForce 9400M.
We think that it is really interesting news as it will boost graphical performance of the entry-level even though the CPU loses 100 MHz of clock speed.
The RAM remains DDR2 format and might have a small impact on pure graphical performance if one compare with unibody models or the same white model equipped with DDR3 RAM modules. One would have to demonstrate it by a test, as this is only based on the larger bandwidth offered by DDR3 which is used by the graphical chipset.
Owners of the MacBook unibody will most likely be very surprised (and upset) when they will notice that the white MacBook still has its Firewire port despite running on a GeForce 9400M
