Don't see why you couldn't do that on something like an Athlon 64 3000+ 
with a gig of ram, in fact XP runs quite well under VMware on my Ubuntu 
box (which is an Athlon 64 3000+ with 1GB Ram).  Considering how cheap 
dual core CPU's are getting now too, and with virtualization in the new 
CPUs it's getting even easier.
