For an iMac? No.
You would be better off getting a powered USB hub.

But if I get a powered USB hub, it will not be USB 2.0 🙂
Nor will it with that adapter.
If you are interested in using an iPod with that computer, see
USB can't boot Mac OS X on PowerPC Macs from an external drive in anycase.

Right. Nothing you can plug into a USB 1.1 port can turn it into a USB 2.0 port. The only way to add USB 2 to a computer that didn't ship with it is to install a USB adaptor card in an expansion slot, and iMacs do not have the required slots nor can such slots be retrofitted to an iMac.
