by - source: Tom's Hardware US

Nvidia has released the following demo of Internet Explorer 9 running on both the Ion 2-based Eee PC 1201PN and a regular Atom netbook with Intel graphics.

Nvidia yesterday blogged about IE9, speaking briefly about how the browser was built to take advantage of the GPU. The company also posted a video showing what IE9 will look like with GPU-accelerated HTML5, JavaScript and Direct 2D technology on the new ION-powered Asus EeePC 1201 PN and compared this to what users with traditional Atom-powered netbooks can expect.

Check it out below and let us know what you think!

the hardware acceleration is really nice, firefox 3.7 alpha 4 is nice with it activated, its deffinetly noticable on very graphical web pages and makes using google maps very smooth, also the mozilla photos svg dev demo runs smooth as silk in direct2d mode but lags like a biatch in GDI+ mode
