Sata speeds are forward and backward compatible.
You should not have a problem.
If your motherboard does not support 6gb sata, it will make no difference in performance on the hard drive, and little difference on a ssd.

umm depends on what model your SSD is. If its something that does mroe than like 200 MBps on read or write YES YOU WILL DEF SEE A DIFFERENCE having only Sata 3Gbps when it is a Sata 6Gbps. the hard drive not so much. But yes you will feel it on the SSD. Will the SSD still be fast? Oh yea. Will it be blazing fast. No.

I suggested little difference for the ssd.
The OS mainly does small random I/O where the sata speed is irrelevant.
It will be 50x the speed of a 10k hard drive.
On large sequential I/O 3gb may limit the ssd to 200mb/s vs 500 on 6gb sata.
That is still some 2x the speed of a good hard drive.

are the drives , i read somewhere sdd will improve the speed of load ups etc.. i only have a 280 hd at mo with a windows 7 score of 5.9
Samsung 120GB SSD 840 SATA 6Gb/s Basic - (MZ-7TD120BW)
Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (ST1000DM003) HDD

Everything you do will feel so much faster with a ssd.
With sata2 you can expect a wei in the 7.5 range.
Larger ssd's are a bit faster.
Could you use a 240gb ssd and no added hard drive?
