8800 gts bottleneck?

I'm thinking about upgrading my video card to a 8800 gts 320mb video card. I know I'll have to also upgrade my power supply, but will the 8800 be able to reach its potential with my current rig?

AMD x2 4200+
2GB DDR 400 Corsair Value Select
Asus A8N5X

Thanks.

Ok, cool. Thanks. By the way, how can you tell whether or not a video card will be bottlenecked?
