Hi,
my friend needed a free c++ compiler so I recommeded him visual c++, I
told him, what I believed, that visual c++ compiler is free for
download from msdn. Now he needed an ide and I recommended visual
studio / express, but he says its too heavy for his home machine which
is some pentium machine with only 512mb ram running a lot of other
applications (databases). So he needs some alternative which is really
low in resources requirement but provides some basic features of an
ide. Plz recommend some if possible.

regards,

You wont be able to find a modern IDE that can run on a machine with those
sort of specs if said machine is running all these background processors.

How about looking into Borland C++ Builder?
