Hello there. I installed XFCE4 on my 850 Mhz 512 RAM notebook , but i don't like the file manager for it. I wonder if anybody knos a GOOD file manager like nautilus , but with a lighter weight. I use Arch 0.7.2 Linux.

You can use nautilus. Just make sure you start it with the --no-desktop switch and it will run faster because it will only load the file manager.

there is rox,konqueror (may need KDE libs, and prolly not lightweight), gentoo (not bad actually). There is also MC for CLI and the normal CLI commands.

gentoo is probably the lightest FM i have tried, but i prefer konq/rox

You might be interested in thunar. It's supposed to be the file manager in xfce-4.4 but you can get the beta for thunar by itself as well. Since you use Arch, it's available in AUR
