SSD is not a replacement for memory.
If you're running low on RAM, adding RAM will make MUCH more of an
improvement than a hard drive.
If your system cannot accomodate enough RAM for your needs, you need a new
system.

I don't think he's in a pinch for RAM, he's just looking to get as much
performance out of the machine as possible.
He should definitely move up to a gig of RAM, without question. As others have
said, this is by far the biggest bang for your buck.
After that, I would move to a faster hard
I will be upgrading the RAM. A 1GB stick from OWC is only $36, with
some (although probably not much) credit available for returning the old
stick, so it hardly makes sense not to.
What I would be after in the SSD are some additional speed gains, also
lower power consumption/longer battery life.
If you're looking for more battery life, an SSD would definitely help. I don't
think you'll see a significant performance gain, however.
I am still skeptical if SSDs, in that they have a finite life, so I am
wondering how that is going to translate out for longevity...

You may get longer battery life from the 1 GB stick.. if it cuts down on
paging to disk.
A newer hard drive (or SSD) will improve performance of disk intensive
operations such as booting, etc.
I noticed an improvement when upgrading my MBP from a 160GB 7200RPM drive to
a 500GB 7200RPM drive.

Realizing not all SSDs are created equal, my experience with one in a late 2010
