If you're asking whether or not your iMac has 802.11n, it doesn't. Wireless-N started shipping with most Intel Core 2 Duo Macs.

To confirm, you can go to Network Utility, and under the Info tab, look for Model.

MacBook 2.1 | iPhone 3Gs

Nope. You can only stick an Airport Extreme card into it, and the non-integrated cards were only B/G.
