Make sure that you check the system requirements of whatever software you're planning on using with the older MacBook Pro to do your live streaming. The software will dictate the processor / ram / hard drive performance needed to stream at the bit rate and resolution that you're interested in. My guess is that there is a good chance that an 8 year old MacBook Pro will be a little underpowered for most current live streaming applications, but I could be wrong...
