Hi, I've been thinking of getting an Intel 320 Series SSD as an upgrade for an aging netbook. The only thing stopping me from doing so is the worry of a CPU bottleneck from the Intel Atom on board making the upgrade rather redundant.
Without a doubt there will be a marked increase in performance, but will it be worth the money to spend on an upgrade?

Specs:
Intel Atom N280 (1.6GHz)
1GB RAM (upgrading to 2GB)
5400RPM Toshiba HDD

Thanks.

Since you have a netbook, it's not worth it. If you're planning on getting an SSD (which improve the performance of accessing data and many other applications), you might wanna think about getting a laptop instead. There's lots of laptop out there with a decent processor or better, ram size (4-6gb), 500GB HHD for like $200-$500 (even some college and university are giving out their freshman students a free laptop).
