It would make a difference in the loading time, but when you are IN the program, i dno how much it would be different, but loading times will be awesome!

Yes. Other benefits going with an SSD also include no seek time, as there are no moving parts.

SSD is better, but the HDD is more cost effective.

SSD, but i would recommend buying a cheap SSD and also buying cheap HDD where you can store things.

The programs will definitely load quicker, if you use the features inside the programs, they might operate faster too. The SSD is of course more expensive than a HDD, and you compromise on the storage capacity with a SSD, however, the HDD will give you more storage, is cheaper, however, you will lost out on a lot of performance.

Along with what other have said about loading times, an ssd would be a very good upgrade for any pc without one. It makes a world of difference and is probably the most noticeable upgrade you can make.

even if your PC is SATA 2.0 an SSD is 100% worth it. It brings a huge smile to your face to see your PC boot up completely in <15 seconds and watch your programs launch instantly.

You're talking about an SSD that has no RPM vs an HDD.

SSD win's in almost every way.

By that logic, a 0 RPM HDD should do better than  7200 RPM one :P
