Default Is it worth installing a Solid State Drive (SSD) into my old PC?

Hi

A friend said I should buy an internal SSD (Solid State Drive) and put
all my data onto that...
- How much faster is a SSD drive in practice than a conventional hard
disk?
- And would it be technically possible for me to add a SSD to what I
have (listed below) which is now about 3 years old...

Cheers
