[QUOTE="6string, post: 1185244, member: 120039"] IMHO, for $125, why not... I think if it's a new SSD, it's worth it. Comparing it to Apple's Air isn't the way to go, as it is a flash memory module in the Air, rather than an SSD, which is certainly responsible for that performance we are seeing, however, in the short term with SSDs, we are seeing improvement in performance with upgrades to SSDs, more so than we are in upgrading to faster HDDs. A RAM upgrade would also be a good option. For the way I see it, you have an old machine that for under $200, assuming all is running well as it is, you could have the feel of a new machine compared to what you have been using for a few more years to come :) [/QUOTE]
