I'm using Firefox 3.6, it's fine, but I just want to know if there are any other browsers that would work.
It's a really low end computer -
126mb ram
Nvidia Vanta 16mb (I've managed to play AoEII, Starcraft, RA2, and Quake 3 all fine)
Pentium 4 1.60ghz
Windows XP Pro (Runs fine)

You might just want to stay with Internet Explorer. According to my task manager, it takes up less memory when compared to Firefox or Chrome.

Firefox is running fine, so I might stick with that. I'll use IE if I really need to get something up quick.

I'll take a look at it.

Opera is a decent browser. I use version 11.60 together with kernelex on a 400 MHz Pentium II, and it works just fine. Worth to note is that it's quite memory hungry, but SDRAM is easy to come by nowadays.

126mb ram.
Wow.
That's just.
Wow.
Chrome uses around 200mb here, so that's not viable atall :u
