Adding memory to my iMac

I want to add memory to my iMac and when using the built in memory selection it displayed the following...when i searched for the PC3-10600 meeting the criteria listed all that came up was HP products...is this correct? Will this work? Just want to double check before I purchase more memory.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

iMac (Mid 2011)	iMac (Mid 2010)	iMac (Late 2009)
PC3-10600	PC3-10600	PC3-8500
Unbuffered	Unbuffered	Unbuffered
Nonparity	Nonparity	Nonparity
204-pin	204-pin	204-pin
1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM

iMac (27-inch Mid 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.5)

You said the RAM specifications for your Mid 2011 iMac, so now you only have to look for RAM.

You can buy more RAM at OWC or Crucial

does this mean the "maker" of the RAM is irrelevant as long as it meets all the criteria such as 204-pin, unbuffered and such?

Correct. The RAM brand does not mind
