You will not notice the difference.
Most of what we do is small random I/O, and the sata 2 interface impacts those not at all.
Where you will see a difference with sata 3 is large block sequential I/O.
Really, though, you will only see that in synthetic benchmarks which are useless. Sequential will still be 2x faster than the best hard drive, and random will be 50x faster .

Yes it will work. Yes it will be slower. Read/write speeds will be almost cut in half but it should still be faster than an HDD.

Any SSD can go in any SATA port be it I, II or III. The speed of the drive will depend on the port. If it's a SATA II port you have on your mobo then max data transfer rate is 3Gb/s

SATA III is 6Gb/s
