No, it's an OS- Operating System. It's the software that boots up.

Intel, PowerPC, Pentium, etc, are processors.

To upgrade beyond Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) you will need to purchase Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). If the iMac has an Intel processor you can jump straight to Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) but if it has the older G4 or G5 processor then 10.5 will be as far as it can go.
