256MB of RAM meets the requirements. But in my personal opinion i would not run XP on 256MB of ram. But yes thats enough technically but again i love to run programmes such as Adobe Photoshop CS so i like lots of RAM.

To install Windows XP 'Home' (or 'Pro' Edition) onto your new PC, it will need to meet the following specification:

PC with 300 megahertz (MHz) or higher processor clock speed recommended; 233-MHz minimum required;
(Intel Pentium/Celeron family, AMD K6/Athlon/Duron family, or compatible processor recommended)
128 megabytes (MB) of RAM or higher recommended
(64 MB minimum supported; may limit performance and some features)
1.5 Gigabyte (GB) of available hard disk space
Super VGA (800 × 600) or higher resolution video adapter and monitor
CD-ROM or DVD drive
Keyboard and Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device

It'll run ok if you slim it down and turn the pretty features off.

My girlfriend ran XP on her computer with 256Mb of ram right up until a month ago. She only had problems when she has a ton of programs running.
