Clyde,
I put a Crucial 500 SSD in a 2007 iMac C2D 2.8GHz with 6GB RAM. It flies. It is still very slow rendering home movies for burning, but a bit faster than it was because the SSD permits faster writing. That is where the SSD makes the biggest difference for heavy work.
Where you put the SSD depends on your use of each machine.
