i've been running netscape/communicator 4.7 since it came out on a potato system (with the libc5 stuff still in stalled) on a pentium with 128 mb of ram with no real problems. so times java will crash it, and sometimes a plugin will crash it but mostly it's fine. the trick is to run the libc5 version not the glibc one. it's a shame to have to keep the libc5 stuff installed but i need it for wp8 as well so ... adam.
