OK, so I started off just wanting a new cpu, then I got a new gpu, now I have a question about my mobo, and perhaps even ram (I do hate computers)

I currently have an ASROCK Conroe 133-667 mobo
(http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=ConRoe1333-D667 R1.0&s=n)

and, 2gb DDR2 Kingston 667 RAM

My CPU is the Intel E5200

Am I right in saying initially that with the FSB on the cpu running at 800, and the ram only running at 667, there is a 'bottle neck' being created between these two?

and if so, is the bottle neck so great that should make me once again save up and buy a new mobo and ram?

and if the unfortunate answer to the above is a resounding yes, what would peoples suggestions be please?
 
From the Asrock specs:

"Supports Dual Channel DDRII667/533 x 2 DIMM slots with max. capacity up to 4GB"...

DDRII 667/533 bus memory
