There's nothing wrong with those specs for general use (browsing, documents/office apps, and videos). If that's all you use it for, put an SSD in it.

Thanks. That's certainly the easiest option. I just didn't know if it was worth it from a value standpoint to have more money tied up in a machine that's approaching the cliff in terms of what it's going to be worth in the future., especially if I could sell it and the peripherals I don't need amymore and get a newer machine for the same money as the SSD.

I agree.

That hardware should be supported for quite some time.

If you had a 2007 or something like that and were stuck at Lion I would upgrade (my iMac is suffering from this fate but still in use today).

The machine will be noticeably speedier with the SSD.

Hope this helps.
