I use Konqueror instead of Iceweasel whenever I can because of the memory
issue.  I also happen to like the bookmarks setup (easy to add a
bookmark anywhere) and the file selecting widget.  I use icewm and not
KDE or Gnome.

My main desktop now only has 64 MB ram (eventually, I'll find more ram
for this PII-233 box but it maxes out at 3x128MB), so I run heavy apps
on my PII-450 NetServer (with 1 GB ram).

Web browsing and watching videos is the only thing that makes 64 MB
uncomfortable.
