[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1576676"] Consider installing a hybrid drive instead of a full SSD. You get 90+ percent of the speed, plus massive storage amounts, for way cheaper. PS. If you're doing anything that is (or will be) graphically intense (example: watch an HD movie), I'd suggest moving on rather than upgrading. 2009 was not a great year for video cards, and that's not upgradable in your machine.
