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-state-drives-and-garbage-collection/
(SSDs with SandForce controllers are known for good automatic garbage collection, see link above)
