    Yes all of those are compatible. Get the Vertex 3 or Agility 3, i wouldnt reccomend sandforce ssds but if you are getting a really good deal go for it. I personaly recommend Samsung 830 or the crucial m4 specially the past few weeks with all the ssd deals you could get one under $1 per gb

    Thats a great deal! You should go for it. According to the reviews on newegg its pretty good, i guess they updated the firmware on them.

    That's a hell of a deal!
    In principle, an SSD is like a blank HDD. It should be compatible with any SATA interface without needing any special drivers. The only quam is if you get a SATA3 SSD and your system can only do SATA2. It only affects read/write speed but it's something to look into.
