as these components are shared among all instance, I'd stick with the new
ones, so that both the retail version and the sp3 version can take advantage
of them.... just a caveat... as you in your initial post talked about SQL
Server and not MSDE being already installed at 8.0.194 build, I do not know
if some client tool from the origianal SQL Server installation, MSDE sp3
does not install/upgrade, still requires the origianal version...
I'd copy them in a temp folder and try running both instances with the newer
dlls, to see if something brokes, before deleting them...

if the "older" instance is a SQL Server instance, you have to run the full
sp3 package, where you can eventually identify and set the instance name (in
case of a named instance)...
if the "older" instance is a MSDE instance, you have to update it via the
upgrade you can download at
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/downloads/2000/sp3.asp, using the
sql2kdesksp3.exe package...
you have to provide the
INSTANCENAME="name"
parameter to upgrade a named instance, where this parameter is not required
for a default instance...
so the minimal command line will be:
c:\...\>setup.exe /upgradesp SQLRUN UPGRADEUSER=sa
UPGRADEPWD="SAstrong_password" /L*v "c:\MsdeLog.txt"
add INSTANCENAME="name" for a named instance
add SECURITYMODE=SQL for mixed mode authentication
add DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0 to enable network protocols
