We sell USB 3.0 drives and even when you explain to them that if you have a huge USB drive, speeds become very important, especially if you plan to copy large amounts of data at once. And response from people is mostly "just give me the cheapest one". Go figure.
One thing I've noticed is, a lot of people mostly consider a single parameter (in our example, price) when purchasing something: how much RAM a videocard has, how many GB an HDD can hold, etc.
That leads me to think most people will go for the cheaper motherboards regardless of the speed difference. After all, there's no fruit logo or lowercase 'b' on said motherboard, so the price premium is hardly justified in their eyes.
