Would it be possible to do if we were on a Windows 2000 machine?

Thank you,

Yes and no.

You can install a named instance of SQL 2000 on your machine, and run both at the same time, but "without affecting the current..." is not likely.

Performance of 2 servers running on the same box will not be as good as the one by itself.
