vim and xdebug, with this vim plugin for integrating the two.
Here is an introduction to using vim with xdebug.

An IDE with debugger that uses less than 256MB of your memory? D'oh. How much free memory do you have? I guess you're running windows and then maybe some services, apache, have one or two browser tabs open...
I don't think and IDE is the right choice for you, if you can't get a better machine.
I'd go with a lightweight but good editor like notepad++ and do the debugging with FirePHP. Allthough already Firefox, Firebug and FirePHP could get you to the limit.
I encourage you to use Zend studio, Eclipse or Netbeans. They may be very bloated and look very slow. They still are faster because of the shortcuts build in.
Eclipse
- Ctrl + Shift + R : Open file
- Ctrl + O : search method in class defenition
- Ctrl + . : Jump to next error
- Ctrl + , : Jump to prev error
- Ctrl + h : Search workspace
- Ctrl + k : Jump to next occurence
- Ctrl + shift + f : Format code
- Ctrl + l : Jump to line
Netbeans
- Alt + shift + o : Open file
- Alt + shift + f : format code
- Ctrl + shift + f : search workspace
- Ctrl + r : refactor variable
