Running SQLSERVER2005 with SQLSERVER2000

Hi,
Is it possible to run SQL2000 on the same machine as 2005? Will there be any
major problems? Can it be done at all? Will they simply be treated as
seperate applications?
Thanks for your help on this.
AntHi,
You can run both in parellel, but make the memory static (FIX) for both
instances. As you said both will be running as seperate applications
(Thread) .
Thanks
Hari

Hi
As Hari has pointed out, there are no problems in running both versions
on a server. You just have to keep in mind that only one of them can be
a default instance - the other will have to be a named instance.
