Existing MSDE with SQL2005 installation

Hi,
I have a box woth MSDE installed.
I need to install sql2005.
My question is that
1. Do i have to uninstall MSDE first or I could upgrade MSDE to SQL2005
server?
2. Can I have both MSDE and SQL2005 existed in the same box?
Thanls allHi
SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 can run as different instances on the
same server. You can upgrade in place or side by side. Check out the upgrade
advisor, update technical reference and upgrade handbook at
