Welcome to Anandtech Forums. You will find the forums willed with wonderful people with a wide assortment of specialties. There are users experienced in, among a plethora of other topics, Microsoft Windows, high end swithes, Unix and Unix-like systems, and programming. Due to the number of users and the variety of skills, many threads have been posted. Many of those threads do not necessarily apply to your skill set or interrest. For this reason, among other reasons I am sure, you will notice the good people at e-Zone Media Inc. have setup a "search" feature. This new and inventive idea will allow you to "search" through previous threads looking for information. In many cases, no information may be available for the topic you are interrested in, in many other cases you will find a thread or two has already been posted. In situations where someone posts a thread that was posted before, shouts of repost echo out through many of the replies. I only want to help you enjoy your Anandtech Forums experience, and help out the admins at the same time by informing new users about the "search" feature.
Thank you for your time and your interrest in the Anandtech Forums, I look forward to seeing more intelligent posts by you.
