Update from Solaris 8 to Solaris 10?

Hi, is it possible to update from Solaris8 directly to Solaris10 with the OS Update function from the Solaris 10 install CD?

Machine is a Sun Enterprise 420R (UltraSPARC-II 450MHz) with 2,6 gb freespace in / Filesystem an 2gb RAM

Application needs about 1gb RAM, it's just a Test-System
