I have an old computer (the system is: AMD Athlon 64 Processor, 3700+; 2.21 GHz; 896 MB of RAM). I haven't upgraded yet from Firefox 3. Is my system compatible with upgrading to Firefox 8? Should I upgrade or will I have problems if I do?

Your processor supports SSE2 and has more than the recommended minimum RAM, so hardware wise you're OK. As long as you have SP3 in WinXP, it looks good for compatibility.
