You will need at least SSE2 capable processor either AMD or INTEL. check your hardware using cpu-z.
Instal your Windows XP first. then follow this step:
1. Create a new PRIMARY partition after your first Primary Partition at least 6,7GB unallocated space. This partition is to OSX installation partition.
2. If needed, make FAT32 Partition to share files between XP and OSX. This is because OSX can not write on NTFS partition.
3. On Command Prompt (Start -> Run -> ‘CMD’) type diskpart
