Nvidia GeForce 9400 chipsets is similar to the AMD-flavored GeForce 8300 chipset that was introduced earlier, but there are two differences between them.

(i) it's an Intel chipset
(ii) it supports the 1333MHz bus speeds and memory ratios of the latest C2D processors, all while hanging an additional PCIe 2.0 x1 slot off the chip.
