I'm looking to purchase an SSD boot drive to speed my system up.
My motherboard only supports SATA II
I ran across this notice on my manufacturers site.

In summary...
Intel 5® Series Chipset and Intel® 3400 Series Chipset may not be able to complete SATA Out Of Band (OOB) signaling with SATA 6Gb/s devices and down-shift to SATA 3Gb/s speed.
I am wondering how to detect if my system has this issue and if so, what options are available to me. It seems like the small selection of SATA II drives are more expensive and have worse reviews.
Here are my system specs

I have an i5.
I much appreciate any help.
