Depending on the Motherboard, some BX chipsets can be clocked to 133 Mhz. My old Asus P2B with the 440BX chipset runs 133 mhz coppermine CPUs with PC133 Ram. Its has clock speed setting right in the BIOS for 133 (and 112 and 103 and 97 and 83). It also has the ability to decouple the AGP and PCI speed from the bus speed.
I can't speak for your board though...

This one (Abit BH6) did have the 133 setting. I tried it with a P3-600/133 and it couldn't handle it. I guess it was the RAM. It does run as a P3-450 using the 100mhz bus speed though.
