sql-server-2005 sql-server-2008 side-by-side

Can I install Sql Server 2008 on the same machine where Sql Server 2005 already installed

I have Sql Server 2005 Express installed on my computer, and I want to install Sql Server 2008 Express as well. What should I consider before doing this additional installation?

thanks. bk
