The beauty of iCab is that it will run well on small RAM allotments. (This latter is a fundamental of Mac operations. Briefly it is the RAM set aside for an application (hogged by it). If the programmer did his job properly, you would not need huge amounts because many pre OS X could call on extra when needed. But there are some, IE is one, that go better with lots more than they suggest. You go to Get Info... and change the preferred value. If I had to live with 64 MB I would also learn to live with iCab (I think?). It is not too bad... Seems wrong to me to have such a reasonable cpu and so little RAM, better the other way around but better to get more ram if you can...
