sql2000 delete rows having duplicate (identical) records

Suppose, we have identical records like :-

name age

***********

RAM 30

RAM 30

we have to keep one entry each for ram:30  and ram:40 and delete duplicate entries:-

set rowcount 1 

(this will remove top 1 row)

select * from temp where name = 'ram'

delete temp where name = 'ram'

set rowcount 0
