I have an Expresscard SSD (Filemate 48GB) on my 2007 Core2Duo MBP. I have installed Snow Leopard, moved all the frequently used apps on it but still point to the old home directory on the hard drive. The SSD gets quite warm easily, but it actually makes my laptop feel snappier than my work laptop (2010 Core i7 non-SSD). A cold boot takes less than 12-15 seconds, most of it trying to read settings from my home folder in the old hard drive. I believe the ExpressCard uses PCI Express interface which is much faster than SATA on older macbooks.
