it will work fine with XP, nVidia's drivers will be ok.
What I have to wonder is, why on Earth would you want a (relatively) slow graphics card with so much on-board RAM? I hope you're not under the misapprehension that a 1GB 8600GT is somehow going to be faster than a 256MB 8800GT. It will, in fact, be quite a lot slower.
