Even on your "old" system, the hard-drive is by far the slowest thing, so an SSD will still be behind the speed of the CPU and RAM. You will actually see a pretty good difference between a 4 yr old hard drive and a solid state one.

SATA connections will be backwards compatible so no worries there.

you should be fine. some people at neweg did a test and there is very little difference in speed between sata 1, sata 2, sata 3.


True With Classic Mechanical HDDs But When It Comes To SSD's Even The Slowest Of Modern Ones Can Come Close To Saturating SATA 2, However Like The Guy Above Said It Would Still Be A Substantial Boost To An Older Machine, So Id Say Go For It. It Wouldnt Be A Waste Because It Could Be Later Installed In An Upgraded Machine Or New Custom Build.
