Try Mozilla Firefox:

System requirements:

Operating Systems - Windows 98, 98SE, ME, NT 4.0, 2000, XP (Recommended)
Minimum Hardware - Pentium 233 MHz (Recommended: Pentium 500MHz or greater)
64 MB RAM (Recommended: 128 MB RAM or greater)
52 MB hard drive space

Alternatively, try Opera (http://www.opera.com) for Windows
95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP - the features you need and very lightweight. Flipside:
you have to pay a bit if you don't want banners.
