Summary This report will discuss solid state technology, particularly the architecture used to communicate between memory modules and the main processor of a computer system. It will highlight and describe the many benefits of SSD technology. Solid state technology is not a new thing, a solid state device may contain any electrical parts that do not have a mechanical action i.e no moving parts. These parts can consist of transistors (mainly!) microprocessor chips, many types of flash memory and

graphics chip and a high power processor. The next will be what is known as a thick client this is a home computer that would be needed to operate independently of a server but have access to the internet via a network card installed on the mother board. The final computer system I will be investigating will be a home theatre system, this is normally a smaller setup but with a dedicated sound card for the surround sound environment in most home theatre systems. I want to make this as simple as possible
