IceWM is maybe the best (still friendly) choice for the system
described, but LXDE can help a great deal if you are not the
customize-everything kind of user.
Don't go to a lighter DE only to use the same heavy, bloated software :P
Try sticking with Midori, or even you may try Chromium, they are both
built around Webkit, but the former seems to be much lighter.
Maybe we shall build a wiki page dedicated to low-res machines, seems
like everybody has one around, and none of us are willing to throw them
away. It's a different and interesting approach to computing in such
conditions.
Good luck!
