Its perfectly usable for web browsing. I also have it on a Pentium M 900Mhz tablet PC with 768MB RAM and 64MB stolen for graphics. The latter you do have to be a bit patient with especially as both are stuck with standard SVGA graphics drivers. That said, they are both usable and may be even better with RTM as my Core 2 Duo laptop seems to run a lot better on RTM than it did on the RC, and the RC ran well until something messed it up causing disk thrashing for up to half an hour on bootup (not sure if it was SonicStage, Daemon Tools, or something else entirely).
