    I'm bored and with the price of SSDs coming down, I thought I might it might be time for an upgrade.
    I have a Dell Inspiron 6400 and wanted to install a ssd with a fresh install of Windows 7. Is this laptop too old to install an SSD. Will there be any compatability issues. I've googled this but most of the answers are several years old.
    Thanks for any help

    The laptop will take an SSD but you probably won't get a huge benefit out of it. I'd be fairly sure that the 6400 only has a SATA 150 interface (Intel 945GM/ICH7M). You should notice some improvement, but it's hard to say how much.
