    Hi, guys I just want to know whether the new intel ssd value drives and mainstream drives compatible with my acer aspire 5520G. my laptop has a 250 gb 5400 rpm 2.5 inch I think.

    Coz the new ssd drives says sata II, and I am not sure if my acer aspire 5520G has sata II.

    And is it a better upgrade than buying a tl-66 (2.3 ghz

    Yes it's compatible. Sata II and Sata I are compatible.

    The Intel SSD is roughly 3 times as fast as a HDD.

    Just use CPU-Z to check the chipset and Google to see what is supported. I'd wager it's SATA/300. Either way, it doesn't make much difference.
