Can u set the FSB speed and the memory bus differently on all motherboards for AMD

I have a FIC AZ11E motherboard and i can set the FSB and Memory bus speed serperatly (FSB is at defualt: 100mhz and the Memory is set to 133mhz cas 2) i was just wondering if this is the only board to do that or can they all do that
 
AFAIK, all of the boards for Durons/T-Birds that have the Via KT133 and KT133A chipsets allow the FSB and Multiplier and Memory Bus to be adjusted. This pre-supposes that the CPU is unlocked, or has been unlocked by the user.

The bargain basement chipsets for AMD K7's and offspring, like the Via KM133 and SiS 730 may not allow you to change the processor's Multiplier/FSB/Mem Bus, or goose the Core Voltage.
 
Pretty much except on the orginal AMD "Irongate" 750 based boards which only supported PC-100 SDRAM anyways...

On my K7V (KX-133) my FSB is 112 whilst my RAM is at 149MHz (CAS 2)
