That's not very much RAM. As I understand it, Chrome's multiprocess architecture results in more dependency on memory, so your observations do make sense. How are you even running XP pro on 100MB of RAM? Do you mean 128 MB? That's the minimum required amount according to http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/sysreqs/pro.mspx. Do yourself a favor and buy a couple of 1GB sticks of RAM for ~$30:
