To upgrade your servers, you should plan hardware requirements first (CPU, Memory, HDD, etc.). You should also take in count that you will have another OS (you may create baseline of you existing configuration to look how your present system handlesall tasks), and make estimate for 2-3 years growth for future.
For sofware migration you should look Microsoft's White Papers on NT4->W2K migration. If it's just "standalone" server, it's easy and painless. In case you upgrade users environment, you have much more involvements, since you should migrate from "Domain" to "Active Directory" (see papers).
Good luck.
