The system requirements for Windows XP are as follows:
233 MHz Pentium processor
64 MB of RAM
1.5 GB free space on hard drive
VESA-compliant graphics card (at least 800 x 600 resolution)
Keyboard
Mouse
CD / DVD drive
Of course, those are the bare requirements for Windows XP, and should in no way be considered optimal for running XP productively. A more realistic minimum would be
Pentium III 450 MHz processor
256 MB of RAM
6 GB free space on hard drive
VESA-compliant graphics card (1024 x 768)
Keyboard
Mouse
CD / DVD drive.
