As usual a question with half the required information missing. You probably mean a 32bit version of XP (there is also XP x64). VirtualBox can only use the memory which the host OS can allocate, so going to 8GB doesn't change anything. Things would be different for the 32bit version of Windows 2003 Server, as it supports PAE which allows the OS to manage up to 64GB.

Additionally, on a 32bit host there is a ~1.5-3GB limit per VM, IIRC on Windows it's below 2GB. This isn't affected by PAE.

To use more, you need to run a 64bit host OS.
