I have a question how many network cards/ethernet ports come in the stock imac is there a difference in their number in the screen size? I noticed that on the PowerMac G5 they state that there are 2 but they dont say anything on the imac.

Thanks

Nope. If you are looking for expansion, dont look at the iMac

No. The G5 dropped the 56k connection for a second Ethernet Port. Some think it's the future of external hard drives, etc.

Well that kinda sucks but is there not wireless internet on the imac so I could receive the internet through that and then put the internet to my xbox through the one ethernet port? Is there a way to share an internet connection like in XP.

O ya and also how many usb ports are there?

The tech specs tell you about everything that is inside of the systems, its not that hard to look it up

And yes you could share your wireless connection through your ethernet, but why not just get a router and do it all wired and get better speeds
