I'm not new to Ubuntu, but I'm reaching the end of my ubuntu (upgrade) life, unless I buy a new computer. If I use the 9.04 liveCD, will I be able to see if my laptop can handle 9.04? I know that I have a Radeon Xpress 1150 graphics card, and I know its been thrown into the ATI Legacy driver. I would assume that if I use the latest liveCD, that if it works ok, then I could (hopefully) upgrade to the latest ubuntu. right?

you are correct sir, but you really don't always need to update. If you like a version and it works just fine, then continue to use it.

If you need the newer version of programs, just grab them from third party repos or DEB's files
