DFI revises X48 board

More spacious multi-gpu usage.

DFI has revised the board I presented two days ago, so that it now features a better support for three graphics cards; the previous incarnation of the board had some limited dual-slot space for the middle x16 slot.

This is a rather useless feature unless you plan on fitting the board with very exotic setups, like three HD 3870 cards. Triple CrossfireX setups can use an HD3780X2 card and a HD3870 one, while triple SLI is not officially supported on Intel chipsets.
Considerably worst is the placement of the DIMM sockets, which now stand too close to the top PCIe x16 slot.
The cooling should remain the same one that was previously announced, built by Thermalright.
