Why not?
Microsux has tightly integrated it's browser with the rest of the O/S, and chances are the installation of Internet Exploder 6 also updates the winsocks dll's, so the TCP/IP layer. If the only difference between two installs (apart from the Pentium 4 issue) is Internet Exploder 6, I wouldn't hesitate.
