Microsoft has announced the upgrade paths available for Windows Server 2008:

If you are currently running: You can upgrade to:
Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition (R2, Service Pack 1 or Service Pack 2) Full Installation of Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition
Full Installation of Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition

Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition (R2, Service Pack 1 or Service Pack 2) Full Installation of Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition
Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition (R2, Service Pack 1 or Service Pack 2)

Full Installation of Windows Server 2008 Datacenter Edition

A few important points:

1. Except for Windows Server 2008 for Itanium, the above applies for both x86 and x64 versions. Cross-platform upgrades are not supported (Ex: x64 to x86 or x86 to x64)

2. There is no upgrade path for Windows Server 2008 Server core edition (Since this is a new product line)
