yes it will work but at a reduced speed because of the older sata ports. It will seem all around quicker and probably woth the investment. Your power suppl must have sata power or you will have to get an adapter.

It's got SATA 1 which doesn't have NCQ and possibly no TRIM. That still means you *can* use SSD but performance would be quite curbed by SATA1 limitations. If you insist on SSD you should get yourself some cheap older slower model with good firmware-based automatic garbage collection to avoid performance degradation over time.

Here's some more relevant info: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2011/01/askars-solid-sta...
(SSDs with SandForce controllers are known for good automatic garbage collection, see link above)
