Best web browser for low memory machines?

Short and sweet: I'm rocking a Pentium 3 500MHz with 384MB RAM. I'm predominately a console gamer, so my PC doesn't get used much for anything other than web browsing and a Dreamcast Q3 server on weekends. I've been bouncing around between FireFox and Opera, but both seem to be pretty memory-intensive (FireFox especially). FireFox will occasionally freeze and then crash to desktop, and Opera will slowdown like a motherfucker, both after extended browsing sessions.
My question is, which one would be better for a machine with limited RAM like mine? I'm currently running Ubuntu 6.06 because I wanted to check it out, but I think I'll be back to Windows XP Pro in the next week or two. Are there any other browsers anyone could reccomend? Has IE become a safe option yet?
Thanks for the help.

well, honestly, running ubuntu 6.06 is not the best idea because it's an older OS and newer versions of Ubuntu have fixed a lot of it's bugs.
I'd try out xubuntu. It's a really good lightweight OS, and you'd be surprised how much a lightweight OS can help with doing web browsing. It helps a lot.
