One question: I chose Crucial after seeing them often recommended in this subreddit, yet no one recommended then in this thread. Not sure what I'll do yet, but the suggestions are helpful.

Thanks to all those who responded! I do still use my SuperDrive, so the dual drive doesn't work easily for me, but it still seems that the SSD upgrade makes sense. Currently, the 960 GB drive is $472 while the 1TB one is $399 why is the larger one cheaper? Which of these 3 would be best for intensive media production? If this IS a smart move, what SSD should I use? Here are the ones I think I'm deciding amongst: Crucial MX100 512GB SATA 6Gb/s 2.5' Internal SSD, Crucial M500 960GB 2.5-inch Internal SSD, or Crucial BX100 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 2.5' Internal SSD.

In fact, the only thing I DON'T like about it is its slowness and the fact that I can't stream to my Apple TV without an app (I use AirParrot, which works okay but not great). First off, is this a worthwhile thing to do? Does it make sense to do it on such an old machine? It would cost about $300-$500, which is far less than buying a new computer, but am I just pouring money into a dying beast? I know that new Macs have less flexibility regarding upgradability, so that is something in favor of my old model. Here is my question: I'm seriously considering replacing the internal hard drive for an SSD with either the same or more storage capacity, and upgrading my RAM to 8 GB. I have considered either moving my overly large (240 GB) iTunes library or running Garageband and Logic Express from the firewire drive, but haven't done this yet. I have a 500 GB external USB drive, and a 1 TB external firewire drive, and I use both of these for time machine and extra backing up. I like to have multiple applications running simultaneously, and for this it has not been great. I've used iMovie with only a little freezing, and Garageband and Logic Express, with less reliable results. I bought it to do music and video production, and it has mostly worked fine.
