Pick a browser based on the features you like. They're all about the same with regards to performance, and it comes down to fit/feel for the user. I like Firefox.

I have a 1.69 GHz, XP Pro SP3, was using 384MB of RAM and could run FF fine. Although I couldn't have much else open. I would also limit the amount of RAM FF could use.

I upgraded the RAM to 1.25GB and performance is much better. Videos are still choppy though, if streaming, and i think it comes down processor, because some videos won't play well even if I download them. I'm using a GeForce 6200 256MB vid card. If it's something else, I haven't figured it out yet.

my Acer Aspire 3002WLCI is almost the same.

1.6ghz sempron
1.25 gig ram
SiSM760GX chipset
15.4" screen
windows XP Pro sp3

I use IE8 and FF. works like a charm for an old laptop.

Thanks Bro: i've tried google chrome for a few days on my 2 laptops Sony Vaio XP Sp3 and Toshiba win Vista but i went back to IE cause there was 2 things i did not like 1- when going to a form and opening a page and when opening a link page inside the forum when exiting the page clicking X it would just leave the page all together while in the IE it gives the choice of leaving the page and stay in the forum.
2- the Spell check is much better and easier.
And a matter fact i did not notice any fast speed, they both about same.
