1. e8500 is compatible with your board but may require BIOS upgrade to work. Consult MSI.
2. Your SATA version is 1.0
3. Adding an SSD to your board wouldn't make sense as SATA 1 xfer rates are capped at 150 MB/s. Also not sure SSD's work with SATA 1 as SATA 1 doesn't support NCQ and not sure you could find drivers that would work with SATA 1.

PC Specs com Begs to differ. 4 SATA 1.0 ports, 0 Sata 2 ports. Sata 1.0 is capped at 150 MB/s, so OP will never see 3gb/s transfer rate from any of these ports thus making an SSD upgrade pointless.

If you have SATA II with NCQ support then it's worth it to add an SSD.
