Multiple SQL Server 2005 Express installations can coexist on the same
machine along with other installations of SQL Server 2000, SQL Server 2005,
or Microsoft Desktop Engine (MSDE). In general, it is best that SQL Server
2000 instances be upgraded to SP3a or higher. The maximum limit to the
number of SQL instances is 50 on the same machine. These instances must be
uniquely named for the purpose of identifying them.
Still, be aware that SQL 2005 is in Beta version, so you might experience
problems. I prefer installing beta versions in a virtual machine.
