Minimum RAM requirement is 64MB. Recommended spec is 256. XP compatibility
with your other hardware will be a larger concern.
General upgrade info:

Also, Windows XP Upgrade Advisor can be downloaded (31.7MB download), then
run to check your system for compatibility. Not an all-inclusive check but
useful for getting a general idea about the feasibility of upgrading a
particular setup:
