With a system that is that old you will not gain enough performance benefit that is needed to offset the cost of an SSD. Current SSDs on the market run at SATA 3 (6Gb/s) speeds and are even limited by that interface. Your system only has SATA 2 (3Gb/s) so the drive will be bottle necked even more. You will notice a tiny bit of speed improvement, but nothing major. Save the money you would spend on the SSD and put it towards purchasing a new computer in the future.
