Same here...SATA3 SSD on a 2 board...and as Pas says....you'll have no complaints re performance increase...

anthony, i hope you'll never need to use ocz's tech support. i sincerely do. as for the second part of your last post, the only two companies i've been completely satisfied with regarding tech support have been corsair and asus. gigabyte is pretty good, too. the worst i've ever dealt with was lian-li. getting a reply from them took almost a month. luckily, it wasn't my lian-li case that was dented (the guy said it was delivered that way but i didn't believe him). anyway, enjoy your ssd. i'm sure you'll be happy with it for years.

paul, you're using a vertex 2 drive, aren't you?

SATA2 on SATA2 mobo

SATA3 on SATA3 mobo

Yeah, I know. Wizard pointed that out too. I seem to have failed to keep a record of the SATA3 SSD on the SATA2 mobo. 

I can remember that the SATA3 SSD on the SATA2 mobo got almost the same speeds as the SATA2 SSD.

And the WEI didn't change much.  The SATA2 mobo took a dump on me, so I had to get the new mobo.

 I tell all my friends, if you want faster with what you got, just change to an SSD. Whether it be a laptop or desktop.

No, any board's system will benefit with an SSD ....

The answer to the OP remains a resounding YES, with one caveat. Buy a SATAIII SSD. At some point you will be upgrading/replacing your rig and chances are, it will be SATAIII. It makes no sense at all to buy a SATAII unit, regardless of its lower cost.

Just wanted to say if you want to buy SSD´s cheap you may get lucky as i was on cyber monday week sales on amazon... 128gb ( samsung 830 series ) for 60 euros thats pretty damn cheap... ohh and i recently got a ADATA Premier Pro SP900 (256) and it crosses the 500 read/write mark for me  ( 522/512 ) attached it to my rig, booted up and it worked like a charm, i can only recommend it. Now all you hear from my pc is the Noctua cooler draging air through the tower 

I have a 4 gb stick of ddr3 you can have.

SSD the only way to go. I picked up Samsung 840 250GB (the non pro version) cheap, plus they was giving Far Cry 3 out for free. I will never go back to HDD for the bootdrive.

tom, i knew you'd like it once you took the plunge. tell b.a. about your experience. the last time i talked to him, he wasn't sold on ssd's.

I have Windows 7 on one SSD and Windows 8 on the other SSD starkers. Right now I boot directly to Windows 7 though as that is where I do all my designing. When key Stardock products support Windows 8 I may somewhat reconsider that, but probably not too strongly. Of course I am using Start8 on Windows 8, I don't use the Metro/Modern UI at all, straight to the desktop!

I figured that, but being you're not a fan of Win 8 I was just having a little dig.  In your situation I'd be doing the same thing, but I don't make WB's and find that Win 8 better suits my needs with video editing, etc.  Sadly, though, Win 8 is not as pretty as Win 7, so hopefully WindowBlinds for Win 8 is ready soon.

Hmmm, touch, play!  That has such dirty connotations... and knowing you, there's a picture of a sheep on screen when you're touching it.

Now all you need is to get a hang of the voice controls [kneel, Bessie, kneel] and you'll be in 7th heaven.
