More than likely, yes. SSDs, in general, make computer both run faster and start up more quickly.
However, your first gen Macbook is rather old, and you'd probably see way more gain out of getting a new computer with a higher level processor and GPU, than by simply purchasing a SSD.
Good luck!

I think that an SSD combined with more RAM, if possible, is a great way to give an old computer some new life. However, I agree that your Macbook is getting a little long in the tooth, and may not be worthy of the money spent.

I agree also that a new MacBook would do the best trick, but Ive seen a SSD put into a MacBookPro1,1 and make the thing lightning, things load like you wouldn't believe. Loading times will be much quicker but processing speeds not so much.

if you have the budget for it i agree with the other that an SSD would help and also adding some RAM.
Keep in mind that the machine is getting old and may not be worth the cost of the upgrades.
if you do add the SSD and the RAM and still find it lacking and device to get a new one you may be able to bring the SSD forward to the new machine but i doubt the RAM will make it. so if thats the case you would only really be out the RAM as long as your comfortable installing the SSD yourself into your macbook or macbook pro.
