Yes and no. You have to run fsb and memory synchronous, and the p2b-f
officially handles only 100Mhz FSB / 100Mhz ram clock. You can however
overclock to 133Mhz FSB (and thus ram) clock, provided your cpu (and the
graphic card because of the overclocked agp) can handle it.

The memory will always run synchronously to the FSB. A P2B-F shouldn't
have too much trouble hitting 133 when used with 3 DIMMs or less, though
your CPU or AGP card (FSB * 2/3) may.
