Would all mid-2007 iMacs (alumnimum) have fast connection?

This is a stupid question. I have a new MacBook and an August 2007 aluminum iMac. I also have a TimeCapsule, which I'm getting ready to install. Now, that has the faster Airport speeds -- does my iMac have that? Believe me, I've looked and I can't find that. I cannot believe it doesn't, however.
It's a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo -- and I think those are the magic words. (duo and core 2).
So I'm proceeding on and we'll see how this works. I'm still using a 2003 Airport Extreme Base Station, which will be vintage in just a few months! But it's worked, and I hesitate to mess with success. We have severla computers all connected to it, including a PC, two laptops, a printer, the iMac, plus a PC laptop upon occasion. There's a router involved, plus a modem. All those wires...

My "second day they were on the shelf" aluminum iMac has all those bells and whistles. The only down side is that this is the ONLY computer I have with either gigabit or N, so the rest of the house has to move forward a bit before I can "justify" upgrading routers and wireless access points. 
As mduell says, ALL aluminum iMacs have all of that stuff. Enjoy!

Thanks! I finally found documentation after I wrote that post. I KNEW that was the case, but wanted to double-check. I got the Time Capsule up and running in short order, but ran into printer difficulties with the laptop. My daughter was home from college over the weekend and I didn't want to mess up the network while she was here, so I put everything back. (Then I read up on networks yesterday and became very conscious of the many ways this could get screwed up!)
I will probably give it another try today. My understanding is that the older machines (a PC, my old laptop and my husband's work laptop, when he has it here) would just go at the slower speed, while my two machines would get to zoom!
