Fo those asking if they should upgrade to a SSD, it will change the behavior of your computer almost as a mechanical keyboard changes your typing compared to a cheap rubber dome  ;)

Just make sure you get a good model. There is a massive difference between the reliability and performance of SSDs.

OCZ has a... mediocre... rep for reliability.  Their drives are typically fast, but can be dodgy.

I had an older model-- Vector 3-- and it had showstopping behaviour problems ona a P67 motherboard, which required firmware updates to resolve.  Ran fine on an AMD 790X, but honestly, it should be well tested on what was the performance platform of the time.
