256 or 32 bit? 64 bit was a bit funny for me when I used it, lack of plugins etc.

Use the one that isn't labelled 64bit (32bit), will have flash support, amongst other plugins.

32 bit, for now.

256bit is just the encryption strength, both the 32bit and 64bit builds are 256bit encryption I believe.

In theory I prefer the 64bit IE, but some addons like Adobe flash are still not available for 64bit windows... so 32bit web browsers are still the "norm" for compatibility.

Adobe are slackers!
