No. Different iMacs require different types of memory modules. Most major Mac-friendly RAM vendors should be able to recommend the correct RAM for your model iMac. Please see links below for more details.

What is the difference between SDRAM and DIMM because I want to buy a new computer and it says it takes DDR2 SDRAM but when i search he net i find DIMMs. Will the DIMM work?

You're computer will require a "DDR2 SDRAM DIMM". DDR2 SDRAM is the type of memory you are after, it is also a DIMM. Most modern memory are all DIMM's (Dual inline memory module), much older ram were SIMMS (single ingline memory module). DIMM refers more to the physical make up of the module (DIMMS have contacts on both sides of the module). So any DDR2 SDRAM that you buy IS a dimm. You may want to look at the wikipedia page about DDR2 SDRAM at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR2_SDRAM

What is tall memory?

Any type of memory can be considered "tall" memory. This just relates to the physical dimensions of the memory module. So it is higher from the motherboard than similar memory modules. The main concern here is the heat sink for the CPU. When larger CPU heat sinks are used, they often cover the memory modules, so you would need memory that will fit under the heat sink. If there isn't enough clearance, then you cannot use both that heat sink and the tall memory modules.
