Most consumer-level SSD drives are 2.5" so you might need an adapter to install it in a desktop, depending on your case. But the SATA II/III standards are the same as far as I know so they'll work on any SATA interface.

In desktops you can get SSD drives that plug directly into a PCI-E slot and sometimes have multiple controllers on them for RAID. You can get some absolutely silly performance out of these.
