Wait for Episode III, it's a great deal better than the already good I and II AND runs smoother

Don't worry, Xenosaga II and III run MUCH better than I, although their graphics look better...Seems like the devs optimized the code
Anyway, I didn't have any real performance troubles in Ep II, just be sure to enable 8-Bit-Textures, it makes the game smoother. Same goes for Ep. III, they are mostly GPU limited. So if you don't crank up the res too high, Ep II and III will be very playable, though 2x scaling should be no problem with your video card.
Also these games are worth playing, great storyline

You have WinXP, thus DX9. DX10 works much better with Xenosaga I. What graphic card do you have, you haven't mentioned. Enable the recommended speed hacks, they don't hurt. Actually, internal res does not matter too much in Xenosaga I, the game is always GPU-limited and native res does not help in the typical slowdown areas of Xenosaga I like AGWS battles and rendered cutscenes.
