PostgreSQL is a real DBMS. I am involved in a non-profit project where we
run PostgresSQL (and Linux, Apache, ...) on a P200 with 128 megabyte RAM.
Works great. It also worked great when we had a i486 and 32 megabyte RAM.

I have never worked with InterBase so someone else might have to answer if
it complies with ACID.
