    Can I use a Crucial RealSSD C300 sata3 128g in my system ? Would it work or it's a waste of money since i would run at sata2 speed ?

    The Vertex 2 line is faster than the C300's on a SATA II interface.

    Either way, it's going to be monumentally faster than your current hard drive.

    You can, but you lose TRIM support. Take a look in the SSD thread, all the answers you need should be in there.
