The resource usage of browsers is an important aspect in modern-day computing, because the browser is taking on an ever more important role in day-to-day computing tasks. Hence, it may come as no surprise that many complaints regarding browsers are not about rendering speed or rendering quality, but about resource usage. Dot Net Perls ran an interesting benchmark on Windows Vista SP1, comparing 5 browsers to each other.

Of course, lynx would beat them all, easy. Yes, lynx exists on Windows, although it is not that popular (I wonder why). Only links could beat lynx on memory usage.
Anyway, I use Firefox 3.0 not only for its low memory usage, but because it has the best functionalities for me and it looks better to me.
