No, that is desktop RAM, the iMac takes laptop RAM. Go here to find out what exact RAM you need: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/iMac - don't forget to scroll down for older models.
Ok so is this better? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/ValueRA...dule/9414252.p?id=1218101177534&skuId=9414252
I don't know, as I don't know what Mac you have. Look here for your Model Identifier and post it here:
That is the iMac I have.

That Mac comes with 2x1GB sticks, so in order to upgrade to 3, 4, 5 or even 6GB, you have to get 1x2GB, 2x2GB, 1x4GB (+one of the 1GB sticks you already have) or 1x2GB + 1x4GB.

Well no I just want to put one more GB of ram in my imac to make it 2GB...so I am asking if this RAM http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Memory+...mory/9846932.p?id=1218183109538&skuId=9846932 Is ok to put in?
That looks okay. Are you sure you don't already have 2GB in it?
- I just looked it up, that Mac came with 1GB standard, I just upgraded to 2GB when I bought mine.
BTW, that iMac came with 2x512MB RAM sticks, so you only upgrade to 1.5GB, as that iMac only has two slots.
It says the other slot is empty! in the about my imac...
BANO 0 /DIMM0 1gb DDR@ SDRAM 667mhz ok
BANK 1/DIMM1 empty empty empty empty
Also whats DIMM mean and SDRAM like is this SDRAM...? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Memory+...mory/9846932.p?id=1218183109538&skuId=9846932

Well, DIMM stands for 'Dual in-line Memory Module' but all you really need to know is that it's simply a 'stick' of RAM.
SDRAM is also simply a type of RAM. Once again, you don't really need to know about that.
Anyway, as long as System Profiler is reporting that you've got a slot left, the MemoryMaster RAM you posted a link to should work fine.
