NOTHING and I mean NOTHING will give you the boost in speed like solid state hard drive technology will. Its like having a giant camera card as your hard drive. Then if you want bump up your RAM to about 4GB or so and you are pretty much at the peak of speed.
There is no new Mac available that is as fast as my 2007 Macbook Pro and I only have 2.2GHz Intel Core2 Duo.

Solid state drives are good depending on your needs. On my main box my apps alone gobble 32 GB's. Most of them generate huge swap files when working.
Have had a couple of the solid state drives go bad, a serious biotch to try and recover.
