Be aware there's two variants of the 8400 GS. One is based on the G86
core, and the other is based on the G98 core. The G98 core is actually
better supported and more capable at HD acceleration than any other core
currently available, including your 9400GT.

If you read the README with the Nvidia drivers, you'll see there's full
acceleration on a G98 core where the other cores only provide partial.
