   Honestly? Probably none. Of course, most of these people have no idea that   
   buying RAM from a decent manufacturer will make a difference, same with a   
   decent motherboard or power supply. Back when I worked in a computer store   
   in 1999, it was hard for people to wrap their heads around the possibility   
   that an ASUS motherboard might not only be more stable than the default   
   one from Chink-O-Tron or whatever the brand was, but that it might offer   
   better performance.
