keep SQL Express while testing SQL Server 2005 trial?

Can I keep using my SQL Server Express on the same system while installing
SQL Server 2005 trial?Should be able to becuase the new install will be a new instance. I belive
you can install it as default instance or named instance. Haven't had need
to have both on same computer yet. But don't expect issues. Thanks!

You won't have any problems with this, as I believe the default
installation of SQL Express is utilizing the <computername>/SQLEXPRESS
instance name. When you install SQL 2005, you can choose to install
it with the default instance <computername> or utilizing a named
instance <computername>/<namedinstance>. You should not run into any
issues.
