Pepsi Lovers & Vanilla Coke??
Published: Wednesday, June 12, 2002 | By: DennisI am a very avid Pepsi drinker and have never tried this new thing Coca-Cola calls "vanilla Coke", so maybe it doesn't sux.

Published: Monday, June 10, 2002 | By: DennisWhat would a product launch be without an Anandtech review? With what I've been reading the title of their article tells it all "Cool but Slipping at 2200+" and any overclock above 1900MHz is most likely faked or a fluke.
