It will need to be a clean install if you go to vista, but you are

eligible for the Upgrade version, see link.

I wouldn't for many reasons........One, your machine is waaaaaaay to

slow for it in my opinion. Win2K is far superior as well as XP in the

software compatibility arena.......It'll wind up costing you more than

the price of an upgrade disk.

Custom installation

If you own Microsoft Windows 2000, no upgrade installation path is

available. However, you can perform a custom installation that uses an

upgrade license by starting the installation in Windows 2000.

Bob,

 

You can upgrade from XP to Vista, but not from 2000. 1 Gig of RAM is also

required
