Apache Web Server version 2.0 is capable of 256 bit encryption.
I realize that when I installed Thawte Web certificate, the IIS version only
negotiate with the browser client of up tom 128bit (RC4 128). Our browser is
Mozilla Firefox.

Can IIS version 6 be configure to support up to 256 bit encryption (HTTPS)?

Crypto is handled by the OS and then re-used by IIS/IE and any other client
on Windows, and support for AES 256 is coming in Windows Vista.

Search for AES in the following URL for a high-level view:
http://interviews.slashdot.org/interviews/06/01/26/131246.shtml

It *may* appear in Windows Server 2003 in a future service pack, but it does
not currently exist.
