Is there any advantage to running my RAM at 887 rather than 800?

Waste of time?

Worth trying to tighten the timings at 800 instead? How do I go about doing that?

Timings mean little.. you are just better off to get stable... speed means little..
Timings were an AMD kinda thing...

benchmark some of your programs. but generally the benefit is negligible. ram needs to be stable, fast enough, and plentiful.

Shows you how out of it I am

Different tack: any advantages to cranking my FSB? So dropping the multiplier to keep around stock speed?

EDIT: Will ask this in CPU instead. Thanks folks

The advantage is minimal. You may show a slight gain (2-3%) in some applications, but not terribly much. It won't hurt anything.
