Solid State Drives are > than 10 x faster than standard hard drives even with Sata 1 (150 ) on a laptop.

This will work on all computers, the trade of is "is it worth it"? If you own an I3 or AMD quad core processor then the answer is probably YES.

S Solid S State D Drives are at least 10 x faster on SATA 150, or Sata 1, and up to 50 X faster on Sata 3, which is the standard for all modern desktops. On average start up times can go from over a minute to under 10 seconds, all of your programs and applications also benefit from this speed boost, and because there are no moving parts an SSD will last much longer than a normal hard drive.
