May not be *the* smallest browser, but you could try out Mozilla FireFox.

I have no idea how MyIE2 works... whether or not it's using about 20mb in processes elsewhere, but it says myie2.exe is using 3.1mb.

I'm pretty sure it's just a front end for IE.
It's not windows, but the smallest graphics-enabled browser I know of is dillo. It's about 350k total

If you use Mozilla or Opera, make sure you disable RAM caching. Righ now, my Opera is using 81mb RAM because I have 5 tabs open; each of them with a long history (which is all stored in the RAM). Disabling RAM caching would take that 81mb down to maybe 10mb, but forums errors would mean my post is gone, and hitting the back button would not be instantaneous.
