It's pretty easy.  Boot the Windows CD (you can't run setup.exe from within
Windows or it will force you to upgrade).  It will detect that there is an
existing filesystem, choose leave the filesystem intact.  It will also detect
that there is an existing Windows directory, tell it you want to install into
another directory, maybe Windows.64.  When you boot, it will give you a boot
menu to choose which version of Windows to boot.

BTW, if you have an Opteron machine you can improve your memory performance by
putting /pae in boot.ini on the boot line.
