It is worth checking your sites in every conceivable browser and confirming that it is at least functional (ie the "Add to cart" button displays and is clickable), but you might be wasting your time agonising over the design for IE6 users - you'll find that they have the highest proportion of 800x600 screen resolutions, and probably wouldn't notice your misplaced pixel if you pointed it out to them!
