Windows XP needs approximately 1.5GB of hard drive space. In addition, a minimum of 64MB of RAM is required for the operating system to run, although Microsoft recommends 128MB of RAM for it to handle day-to-day operations more effectively.Source:

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.
