I need advise on the use of DIVs VS Tables & Fixed DIVs VS non-Fixed DIVs

I presently have a simple work portal page that's all made with Tables. But I would like now to make a more contemporary type of page, although we're limited in our work environment to use IE6

Fortunately I've been able to implement most CSS features (some CSS3).*

So far I've thought of keeping those tables containing at least 9 elements/items, and put them in a div container.
I like the precision that Fixed DIVs afford me when positioning them. But it seems to me I'd end up with a website all left aligned. Which it's pretty bad, especially if it's been seeing in a large widescreen monitor. This makes me wonder about using one of the other alternatives for positioning.

I hope this was clear enough. I could really use your advise guys.
