Fyodor,

re: No, he'd look at the boxes and see it said "Compaq". Then he'd see one model number was higher than the other and, price being roughly equal, take the one with the higher model number.

And, no, I'm not kidding.

That's a shame.

Consumers don't make decisions based on model numbers. Most consumers are not even aware of the model number.

Sorry, he'd compare Mhz first. Then maybe HD size or size of the case, or whether it has a burner. The average Joe is usually so bamboozled he never gets to the model number.

PS...and yes...He'll consider brand name...for a few seconds...
