I have a AMD x2 3600+ based desktop @GB RAM with two Sata HDDs; one is Seagate 320GB and the other WD green 500GB. I use this computer for basic browsing and MS office type work. No heavy processing other than many browser tabs being open.
My computer takes long to boot and is a little sluggish. I plan to upgrade to an i5 based configuration in stages. The first stage, and where I expect to get a significant performance boost with minimum investment is to install an SSD for the OS.
I plan to buy the Kingston SV300S37A/120G which looks to be great VFM.
Questions:
1. Will this work with a mobo that only supports Sata 2?
2. What is the best way to clone my OS partition to the SSD and have it up and running with no disruption?
