In reality, as I told you, I was also running a few apps in Linux, including Firefox with several tabs open and a media player. Since the virtual machine has a specified amount of RAM, my total RAM usage won't increase unless I do more in the host system, which would have over 1GB left if it had 2GB onboard. 2GB is plenty for running XP in Virtualbox on a Linux machine. I don't know if it would be enough on a Windows machine.
