Backup logs enterprise/restore standard?

We maintain a warm standby by backing up transaction logs on the production
machine, then restoring them to the warm standby. Both machines are
currently running 2000 Standard. If we upgrade the production machine to
Enterprise (we want to be able to allocate more than 2 GB memory), can we
keep restoring logs to Standard (so that we can defer the cost of upgrading
it until a later time)?
TIA

All editions are binary on-disk compatible in SQL 2000. You can safely
restore a Standard Edition backup to an Enterprise Edition server. Your
"home-grown" log shipping will be just fine.
