Xp is ok with 128mb ram, almost everything else needs more memory. To find what kind your pc could use, there is a great tool many people use at Crucial.com.
To install only Ubuntu, or XP, boot from the CD and select the delete partion option. It will then wipe out the drive, and format it with your one OS.

"Ubuntu is available for PC, 64-Bit and Mac architectures. CDs require at least 256 MB of RAM. Install requires at least 2 GB of disk space."
If it says that it requires 258MB, you're probably not going to get the best results.

It will work just fine. During the Ubuntu install, drop your primary partition and re-create it. Then format the drive.

Use Xbuntu instead, it is Ubuntu designed for older, lower powered machines.
