Wes,

   That's not quite the same. I have the Intel 945 PM/GS Express Chipset, but
cannot find what type SSD it supports. There is information on 945G but not
PM/GS.

   I suppose this is possible. It's a Samsung SSD 750 EVO 120GB drive.

   I think I need to buy a reg'lar spinning disk hard drive and keep/sell the
SSD. This means disassembling the unit so all the screws and nuts need to be
re-worked anyway.
