On those specs? Well, you could try Librewolf and ungoogled-chromium, but I imagine they'll be a tad sluggish.
NetSurf, Dillo, and Links2 are more suited to low-power machines, but they don't support HTML5. Also, NetSurf's JavaScript implementation is fairly old, and the other two don't support JS at all. Furthermore, Links2 doesn't support CSS (by design).
I suppose many of the modern day websites won't work on such browsers ??
Are there browsers directly from the command line ?? I'm going to use MX fluxbox as the OS.
elinksis great. It can even execute simple JS, works very well for browsing wikis or reading online documentation.You could try Chawan. That's quite good.
You also have the usual selection of Links2 (text mode), Lynx, and w3m; but most modern websites will not work very well (if at all).
Command line browsers do exist but are usually worse than the others mentioned in terms of site support.
