Could, but your performance bottlenecks are going to be your limited amount of RAM (especially) and your CPU. You’re not going to see good “bang for buck” on getting an SSD.
Rumor has it that Apple will release new i-series based MacBook Airs when Lion drops. That is going to be your bang for buck.
