Maybe MX 2004 has a more current rendering capabilities.
One of my sites had 4 main components, they would be stacked in Dreamweaver MX, In MX 2004 they are no longer stacked, but you need to scroll down a bit to see the footer. It is still a vast improvement.
I would suggest trying the MX 2004 demo if you have broadband, should be around 50-75megs I am guessing.
