Smoothly will be subjective, BUT, download the demo from STEAM and give it a try.

The game is STILL a RPG first, so if you play it on the higher difficulty levels, you'll spend most of your time pressing the space bar to pause and assess the battles.

****** almost forgot ******
Your 9400 is slower than a 8800, but technically it exceeds the requirements, as it has support for modern shaders and so on. You'll probably want to run the game at 720p or lower, on low settings.

In XP with the same specs (9400m and 2.4 core 2 do but with 4GB ram) it's playable on low settings with lower resolution (720 and lower). Doesn't look very pretty, though.

There's no Mac demo.

True. THat's just me assuming most Mac gaming guys are running Bootcamp, since OS X's OGL drivers have been crap from day one and the Mac version is cider.

Here's a direct link to the "windows" demo;
