Crucial is one of the primary after market memory providers for Macs, so you should be fine. Just make sure to use the Crucial configuration utility provided on their site for your particular make/model.
No, the memory you have linked will not fit in your iMac. That is desktop memory and iMac's use notebook memory.
If you have one of the new iMac's that use DDR3, you will need 204 pin SODIMM's, not 240 pin DIMM's.
I would suggest you try their memory configuration tool again and make sure you have picked the correct machine.
If you did, you need to continue scrolling down the page as it lists the suggested memory at the top of the page (typically 2x2GB) and then lists other compatible configurations at the bottom of the page.
I thought that memory scanner at crucial was pretty much automated? It shouldn't have problems detecting what machine you have.
If you use the scanner. I never do. Don't know why not, but I always manually put in my machine when I'm looking.
