What is a Good C++ IDE for Old Windows Machines?

Hey everyone, My school recently gave a team I am working on 4 very old Thinkpad laptops to use for development. They are running Windows 98, have 64 MBs of RAM, and 700 Mhz processors. Obviously we can't run the new Microsoft Express IDEs, or anything else of that level. I considered using Eclipse, but I can't seem to find the system requirements for it anywhere. The documentation is all about what to do after it is installed, kind of sad. Personally I prefer Visual Studio 2003 (Its what I use on my own laptop on a day to day basis). Are there any IDEs that can run on these older laptops and compare?
Turring Machines are better than C++ any day ^_~

Eclipse might be a bit sluggish on a 700Mhz CPU. Try Dev-C++
