Can Celeron run with PC133 at full speed?

I noticed that the Celeron FSB is still only 100 MHz on the newer models. But, the motherboards that take Celeron chips pretty much always support PC 133. Question: if I'm using a Celeron 900 (100MHz FSB), can I still run the memory at 133Mhz, or will it have to be underclocked to 100MHz? Thanks.

Modern socket-370 chipsets are able to run asynchronous, where the fsb is 66 or 100MHz and the memory at either 100 or 133MHz. The original 810, Apollo Pro, and the BX chipsets would all allow setting it back to even 66MHz on the memory.
