I just resurrected an HP Pavilion dv6000 series laptop, which is essentially a sibling of your Presario. I didn't have the hard drive, so I put a 90 GB OCZ Vertex 3 in it (since this is a fixer-upper, I wasn't so concerned with the less-than-stellar reputation of that drive. I got it on sale, so...)
Yours, like mine, is a SATA 1, so performance-wise it doesn't make a bit of difference what drive you put in it - it will be limited by that first-generation SATA. The SSD will make it quite a bit snappier than a spinner, of course.
My AS SSD stats. Dunno why it's in German. Straight Windows 7 32bit install, no special Intel drivers or anything.
