by brute force, overflow: hidden seems to prevent the float drop in 
IE6/Win on window resize.

* html #main_content { width: 64.5%; overflow:hidden }
* html #side_content { width: 32.5%; overflow:hidden }

The gaps are gone now in IE/Win.

I think the problem is the original img size of 120x120px. On my PC 
screen 1280x1024, the width of 50% scales these images up to 144x144px 
or more in IE7, until the max-width kicks in. Firefox does a smooth 
scaling, in IE6+7, it is pixelized.

(120x120)

see a scaled and sharpened version (144x144)

by using this version, I got better results; all IE7 has to do is to 
down-sample it.

The problem is that IE6 does not take your max-width, so wider screens 
will conflict with these efforts. Maybe you should try a max-width 
script, if you haven't already.

Thanks for your kind words.
