Which BIOS came in your OPTI?  I know MR-BIOS supports OPTI, and will         
outperform any other BIOS you could buy.  Just one question...why would
you want C&T?  Without disclosing too much inside information, I can
safely say there is no advantage to C&T chipsets.  Many newer chipsets
outperform the "old standards."  MR-BIOS is available for OPTI:
