Probably. We have a machine with about twice the CPU and it runs Win2K
in VMware, also 512MB RAM. Performance of this machine is good. XP is
likely per the MS model to be more demanding of resources, but that is
managed by VMware. I'd guess that if this machine would run XP native
on whatever RAM you would give it in VMware, it will be fine.

If Windows and good performance are both important, you might want to
look at lighter alternatives. Win4Lin runs Win98 better than native,
for most purposes. And there's WINE, which is free software.
