David,

I have the exact same proc and amount of RAM as you and am running a  
HVM WinXP instance with no problem. Also running a Solaris 10 install  
and multiple linux instances. I was using the stock xen kernel for  
CentOS 5.2 to run these until I upgraded to Xen 3.3.1. I have a HVM  
install of XP and Win2k3 running on an intel running xen 3.0-unstable  
as well.
Jon
