Just my 2 cents. If you are even the least bit concerned about it, and at 8 years old you probably should be, then I would go out and get a new one, slowly learn all the new bells and whistles, get really familiar with it as you transfer copies of your files over, then ween yourself off the old one and keep it as a back up. Your present one may last another couple years, it may last another couple weeks. The bottom line is you use yours for a living (?), and can't have downtime or an extended learning curve for new software.
Getting a new computer is like finding a new job......The very best time to get a new one is when you don't absolutely have to.
