It is slow in 1 GB, so you’d be better of with 2 GB even for the 32 bit version though. I hope this helps. Good luck. XP requires a minimum of 128MB of RAM, but realistically you should have at least 512MB.

Is 2GB RAM good for Windows XP?
2GB is even enough for Vista… no. If you have the RAM on hand, throw it in – it will still be useful even in XP. While XP is limited being a 32bit O/S – it is still not the O/S that shipped in 2001 (a lot of updates and tweaking in between then and now).
