"You can use Real Temp to check your CPU's temperature:

First off on the XP system try chkdsk. For diagnostics testing I'd recommend the Ultimate boot CD. It comes with a number of tools for testing the peripherals on your system. If you have a Seagate drive, check out Seatools.

As for your computer becoming out of date, I think it's fine for the tasks you are doing. If you are looking for the latest and greatest, Moore's Law explains things pretty well - computing power for average end-user systems doubles approximately every 2 years. It likely hasn't gotten drastically slower, just your perception of it's speed from when you first got it has changed, but aged components can have performance problems."
