Will you have any problems if you put 667MHz ram in an iMac while leaving the other 800MHz stick in aswell?

RAM memory chips should be installed in single chips or matched pairs. You can not put in a 1GB together with a 2GB chip. You can not put in the wrong chip speed, ie a 667MHz chip. The newest iMac can support one or two 1GB or 2GB 800MHz DDR2 SDRAM SO-DIMMs. The lowest RAM is 1GB. It will also accept 2gigs via 1 2GB chip or 2 1GB chips. The max RAM is 4GB via two 2GB chips. RAM is installed in 1, 1+1, 2, or 2+2, sets.
