Hi
Crap chip, otherwise the networking guys would have it sorted - they make real money from selling distributed video editing workstation solutions...

Right so it is all apples fault for putting on a crappy chip. Why on earth did they do that!?!? That is stupid! Not that I can benefit from it or anything, but I sure can see where these i7 machines would benefit clientele for video productions and whatnot.

Hi
Obviously the Broadcom 5764 chip is cheaper than the jumbo-capable ones, but they didn't fit it in the new Mac Mini. But Apple know they sell a ton of Minis to server farm guys running web hosting networks, so the ethernet specs are important for those sales.

So was the iMac i5/i7 spec deliberate? That's the $64,000 question that determines Apple's commitment to supplying future excellence to their high-end customers...
