I own a new iMac intel dual core 2 and recently was given a Ps2 not a Ps3 , use with a conventional TV ( that I borrowed ). Soon have to give the tv back so , will have Playstation but no tv what I want to know is can I attach the ps2 to the imac ( with intel chip ) if that make any difference. to use the screen instead of buying a new TV? I tried to network the two by cable but no luck I am pretty sure the ps2 can network

Networking them won't work. You would need a TV dongle, but most people say that there's too much lag on such setups to get decent play out of it. So short answer is no.

The elgato eyeTV hybrid has minimal lag and should work well:
