| DFI X48- The Ultimate Tweaker Board is Almost Ready We’ve been waiting on DFI to provide the overclocking aristocracy with a DDR3 based Intel X48 chipset motherboard for quite some time and it looks like there’s a storm brewing back at the DFI HQ. Could this be the return of the king? Although the board is not quite ready yet, we already know what to expect – raw overclocking headroom teamed with the best high FSB stability in the business...for now, here’s an early picture of the board showing off all the prime real estate that should help bring DDR3 and the X48 to life...

| Re: DFI X48- The Ultimate Tweaker Board is Almost Ready not much to look at really... but I'm sure it will be a great performer given DFI's rep

I happen to be of the conviction that that's not actually an improvement, but still. It should be all black. Or, whatever color plastic is the cheapest, since case windows are weird.
