What motherboard maker brand names does your PC illiterate friend know?

@ 2006/05/17
How well known are motherboard brand names? If you mention Abit, MSI, DFI, Asrock, etc to a friend of yours who's not into PC hardware, does he looks puzzled?

What brands do they know?

This is silly

Who makes up such questions ?

"Which Swahily tribe-member knows following breakfast cereals brands: "Kellogs, Oetker, ..."
"When you say out loud different brands of eau de cologne, with which brand does a rabbit points it ears ?"
"What brands of glue was Jmke sniffing when he made up this question ?"

well, a lot of pc-illiterate people have seen a mobo-manufacturer's logo or something somewhere. (they might pronounce some names in really funny ways though )

the reason I made up "this question" is because somebody claimed that Asrock is as known as Asus now. which it isn't, this poll proves it.

I have PC illiterate friends who DO know MOBO brands

I think Asus or MSI.
Comment from Jaco @ 2006/05/30
They always say "It's a Dell"
Comment from TheTarget @ 2006/05/23
I don't think any of my non-PC friends or family know any of those motherboard brands that you listed.
Comment from BioT @ 2006/05/23
I had a friend tell me that he had "Intel inside".
Comment from the maniak @ 2006/05/17
maybe put in the option "none"

some of my friends only now if they have a ati of geforce videocard, or p4 or AMD. The rest of the specs are quickly forgotten
Comment from jmke @ 2006/05/17
so your none tech savvy friends, who didn't buy his own PC, maybe ordered a dell, knows names like DFI ?

I'm not talking about your friends who ARE into PC hardware, but the other kind

All but Jetway.

Friends? What friends? My computer is my best friend, but he doesn't want to answer my questions.



Nice poll, going to try that at school
Comment from jmke @ 2006/05/17
Asus, MSI and ECS, anything else brings up a large "?"
