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
 
Most all motherboards can run FSB and memory clock asynchronously. You get better performance running them synchronously, though. And you can only run your memory faster or as fast as your FSB. you can't run your memory slower than your FSB. As far as I know, all motherboards with KT133, KT133A, and AMD 750 chipsets have the ability to do this. On the nicer motherboards, most all have the option implemented in the BIOS. It's really up to the mfr. to decide whether the option gets implemented into the BIOS.
