Your original question was: 2 year old mid range computer.
I have a 2005 hp compaq nc 6120 which has 256M memory.
I just test last night. Fedora 11 Live USB seems pretty happy about it.

Unfortunately, you do install whole set of X video driver (and couple of input
driver), which most of them are not for your system.

With KDE, you do install two browsers by default, firefox and konqueror.

Nevertheless, browser analog cannot apply here.
You can use either Firefox, opera, chromium, konqueror to open nearly all web
pages. But you cannot type Korean throught a Chinese input method.

If we take browser view that serious, we should install all of them by default.
:-)
But since you concern about the resource, thus Firefox is the only default for
non-KDE spin.
