Opera, Firefox and other non-IE browsers render pretty identical on win.

Collapsing margin[1] from h1, specifically the default margin-top.
IE doesn't have a default margin-top, so it has nothing that can collapse.

Simplest solution, add:
h1 {margin-top: 0;}

The main cause is that elements in the #content_sub have
margins/paddings added to width, thus becomes wider than their
container. That's how the W3C box model works.

IE can't overflow, so it expands the container instead - a bug.
Adjust those element-widths so they have enough space for
margins/paddings _inside_ their container, and things will improve.

You may also restyle main container so it gets the following
properties:values in addition to / instead of existing styles...

#content_main {width:640px; float: right; margin-left: -30px;
padding: 7px;}

That will keep #content_main in place across browser-land, regardless of
the design-flaws in #content_sub.
