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
