I believe you are asking about RAM use. If you hit control / alt / delete, windows task manager will come up and tell you what you are using. Usually XP uses between 500 MB and 1000 MB total depending on such things as how many windows are open. In general, XP runs pretty well with 1 GB of paired RAM, which is a fair amount lower than Vista.
