Many of the better sites to get RAM will help you find the correct type of RAM. Crucial or Macsales are good places to check. On either one just choose the model of iMac you have.

Your mac supports up to 4GB of RAM (I've heard even 6GB is ok). You need 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, so-dimm PC2-6400.

Just buy:

You can ebay your existing 1gb, or turn it into a geeky key ring.

can't I keep it so I have a total ram of 3gb?

I don't see why not, but you would lose out on certain speed benefits gained from matched pairs of RAM.

You could drop this: http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=5B13092CA5CA7304 into your empty slot.
