We set the memory to 512 MB, but it can technically run on as low as 96 MB of RAM or as high as 4 GB of RAM. Since XP is a 32-bit OS it can't recognize more than 4 GB, though there is a 64-bit version which removes this limitation. (There is a PAE patch that also removes this limitation, but programs can't use more than 4 GB regardless.)
If you use Integral Edition, you can get better performance by switching <code>-M pc</code> with <code>-M pc-q35-2.6</code>.
From here, the installation is pretty straightforward. Agree to the license, (quick) format the disk, and wait for it to install. The OS should install pretty quick on newer systems.
