Yes, but it won't run at its full potential. What operating system are you running?

I have WIN7 Prof. 64-bit running on ThinkCentre Edge 71 (1578E1G).
Is it worth to change to SSD in my case? |

Personally myself I wouldn't as the performance increase is not great... If you were building new, then yes... Also the $(£) per gigabyte is still poor compared to a standard hard drive.. It is worth waiting for a full upgrade (new system and all)...
