SSD sata3 on sata 1 mobo

access will still be fast so apps (that aren't too big) will still load quickly. What you will loose is max transfer speed- it'll be limited to the max of SATA 2 (3GB/s theoretical) but in a lot of cases, you won't notice. I've run SSDs in my 1st gen asus netbook with sata 1 and it was totally usable- and WAY more performant than with a mechanical HDD.

I have had an SSD for about a year and the whole time it's been running in SATA 2 mode cause my MB is a bit older... But it's still incredibly fast compared to a mechanical drive.
Just to clarify, you won't lose performance, you'll be bottlenecked by the SATA 2 interface but the max of SATA 2 is still pretty fast and still MUCH better than any single mechanical HDD in almost all performance categories. When you do go to SATA 3, your benchmark utilities should see a difference but I doubt you will notice.
and +1, well worth the upgrade.

SATA uses 8b/10b encoding, so the theoretical maximum usable bandwidth is 300 MB/s. In the real world, it will be limited to maybe 270-280 MB/s. The same way SATA3 limits SSDs to around 550 MB/s in practice, where the theoretical maximum is 600 MB/s (and 750 MB/s before encoding overhead).
