I remember jetway board form the old pentium 2 days but never even herd f the other china-based ones mentioned here.

I had to google to make sure, but my very first motherboard featuring Slot A, SD-11, made by FIC(First International Computers) is Chinese and to my amazement they're still active! Although it seems they are making ARM based development boards now and likely aren't feeling this pressure from Asus or Gigabyte.
But yeah never heard of Jwele or M-One.

Say what you want about Asus, their Motherboards are pretty unmatched, I've tried to switch away from them but I always come back, I'm less impressed with, basically everything else they make, their graphics cards are decent(My two 7970's are perfectly fine), but looking at them in detail I feel MSI is the master when it comes to making top-quality video cards, although they also tend to be slightly more expensive.

I really hope Asrock pulls through though, they are definitely my favorite "interesting" Motherboard maker, compare their ITX FM2+ with anyone else and it's just completely feature packed and has a fairly interesting HDMI switch, or their Rack boards, one of which I'm using in my pfsense router(Asrock E3C226D2I). Maybe they should try their luck with Video cards?

Was really disappointed with Gigabyte and their z97 offerings.
