looking at buying a 128Gb Samsung 840 SSD for my "old" core 2 duo setup. It has a Gigabyte GA965ds3p mobo which obviously isnt sata3. will the 840 play nicely with the MOBO? ive never had much luck with bios updates with this board so hopefully hat wont be required?

You won't get the read/write peformance of the drives full potential due to the slower SATA technology on your motherboard, but you will get the faster seek times and see signifcantly better response times in general as a result. 

SSD is one of the best upgrades you can put into ANY PC with a SATA Connector.
