I'd just get a better laptop personally.

My mom has the slow netbook at 1ghz and 2 gbs of ram

Is it worth putting a 50-60gb ssd? It's and and c 60 apu

Most likely its going to make a very large difference of the general speed of the note book with booting and application opening but the CPU is still going to be a bottleneck when it comes to 3d applications and even with online video it may still chug but for email and word use a ssd will improve the speed of the applications. I put a SSD in a notebook with a similar HDD that is found in net books and it made a huge difference.  

CPU: Intel Core i7 4790k CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i Chassis/Case: Fractal Design Arc Midi R2  Motherboard: Asus Z87-Deluxe RAM:  Team Vulcan 2x4Gb(2133Mhz)  Video Card: Asus 7970 Direct CU II Custom Rom (150% Power, 1100 core 6Ghz Memory)  Power Supply: Fractal Integra R2 750 Watt  Keyboard: Cooler Master Quick Fire Rapid (MX Blue Switches)  Mouse: Corsair M90 Storage: SX900 128Gb, Seagate 1TB 7200RPM, WD Green 1TB 7200RPM   MY OLD BUILDLOG
