but the fsb is faster so i would have to upgrade my cpu
No you wouldn't... the rated FSB of a mobo only tells the maximum it's desgined to run without OCing, you're fine with a CPU that's got FSB lower than the mobo.

will a motherboard with 800 memory be worth it?
Okay, even though the above would probably void your reasoning, the answer is still yes - no application out there can utilize full bandwidth of DDR2-800 in dual-channel, DDR2-800 and DDR2-1066 with same relative timings would perform equally in any real-life applications.
