System Bottleneck in my RAM

A few months ago I built a new computer.
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
4 GB of G.Skill DDR2 800Mhz RAM
and a Radeon HD 2900 XT
I'm running Vista Ultimate x64, and for the most part games run great. The only two that have ever really slowed down on me are Crysis, (Though I've only run the SP demo, not the full game.) and CoD 4. It's okay until I get into any kind of firefight. As soon as the shooting starts I hit a few frames a second with the settings on high (In Crysis.)
According to the Windows performance index, there's a major bottleneck with my Memory. Here's a screenshot...
I have 4GB of pretty decent RAM. Why would that be causing such a bottleneck? How would I fix it? Would messing around with the timing help? I've never played around with that, it's all set to Auto in my BIOS.
