Upgrade from NT 4 to 2003

I have a Compaq ML350 G3- NT 4 server, raid 5 four drives, 2048 mem.

I want to upgrade from NT 4 to 2003.
Can I upgrade directly from NT4 to 2003 or
do I have to upgrade NT 4 - 2000 then 2003.

But generally speaking, Microsoft recommnedations is " When upgrading operating systems, a clean install is recommended as best practice..."
