I moved the topic since I dont see what it would have to do with hacking specifically.
That is plenty to run some XP depening on your host machine.
I would suggest a lightweight linux distro and run a vhost on top of it.
But you can probably limit its RAM and CPU enough to keep things moving, virtualbox is quite smart with suggestions.

More than enough. Are you setting one up to be a victim machine? Honestly tho, I think vmware is better. Guest additions on virtual box is a headache.

I've always had shit luck with VirtualBox, with Arch mostly. I always used vmware.

Anyway, as for RAM, I would just use like 2gb. The computer hosting it will need more dedication to RAM anyway just for running the VM to begin with.
