Thanks:)

So where should I request my E8600 sample? :D

Thanks for the information, Windwithme!!

Biostar going DFI style ;)

And in wich way would you say dfi style?

Board color, layout, BIOS options, software... it is a high-end mainboard aiming for those who wish to push the very last out of their hardware. Many manufacturers have started to focus the oc-market, Biostar is next. How is it not DFI style, they have been a pioneer in that market for few years :)
