Not particularly helpful, but relevant none-the-less!

It's to do with floats and the box model.

It's the length of the unbroken "(Ref: HWNETWORKCARD)" in the best sellers box that I think is causing the problem, it's too long for the column width 170px so IE6 is causing the float to drop down.

If you shorten the ref by a couple of characters it should fix the problem.

If your widths are tight, leaving no excess to expand you can often find the checkout breaks in IE6, due to the way in which this part is coded. The checkout has a table that is set to be the width defined in site options, which hopefully is what fills your central area, however that table with that width is then for some inexplicable reason sat within another table. So imagine you have 600px to play with and the width in site options is set to that, this actually gives you a 600 wide table, that is then trying to sit within yet another table that has no other option but to expand to fit its content. IE6 catches many sites out in the checkout area.

If coding generally goes over your head, then your best bet is to knock off at least 6px from the widths you have set in site options and see if that cures it. If not, i suspect you have far worse problems.
