That depends on a few things. Does your current computer have 2 hard drive bays or are you going to have to replace the current drive.

My wife's Dell Studio 17 had a 2nd bay and I moved her 250GB 5400 RPM drive to bay 2 as a media drive and simply installed an Intel X25-V 40 GB as an OS drive. Gave it quite the speed upgrade.

Well take a look at your current drive usage to get a feel for how much caacity a new SSD would need.

Also consider a small form factor external drive if you use more than 100 GB.
