You got a lot of options:

Zenwalk (http://www.zenwalk.org/) or Puppy (www.puppylinux.org) or DSL (damnsmalllinux.org), just to mention a few.

You should be able to install as a dual boot if you do it right. I'm not familiar with the puppy linux installer, so you might want to free some disk space with gparted live cd first:
http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php
That is assuming you want to keep XP and have enough hard disk space for both OS. (Not that puppy should take up much disk space in and of itself.)
