There is really no easy way to update from such an old system. You will
run into all kinds of problems. Not only did the repo layout, pacman
itself or the package compression change. You might also have problems
running our new packages which require a newer kernel etc..

In short: It's not worth trying.

Better: Tell us why the most recent ISO wont work for you. Afaik you
can even install arch with just 64MB of RAM; even though such a system
wont be of much use these days.

Greetings,

Pierre
