I was not talking about your problem when I was describing my system. I was just pointing out that it is an old and under powered compared to current systems.

But my drive happens to be 275GB, has a SATA interface. So, unplug the HDD and plug-in the SDD. But, again, you need to look at your system with "top" or any utility that shows what processes are consuming resources and slowing things down.
