I use AIM 6.0, but there are people I know that think that 6.0 slows down their computer and messes it up so they have to restart. It's different for every computer. I personally have never experieced this.
I like AIM 6.0 because:
- It looks nicer, more modern, goes well with Vista.
- It lets you put all of your IMs in one window so that it doesn't slow down your computer with multiple windows.
- The menus at the top, though different from previous AIM versions, are much easier to understand, everything is in a logical place.

You shouldn't have to download anything else when downloading AIM, but you can search websites like iconator.com for different icons to use when talking to your buddies. This is easy to do and the website explains all of the steps you need to change your icon.

I recommend 6.0, but if you download it and don't like it, I'd try 5.9.

Usually I would like the latest version, but I don't like the latest version of AIM so much, it freezes my computer and stuff so I used my favorite version instead, v. 5.9. Its probably the best one you can get, since 6.0 is really confusing to use in my opinion.

Theres nothing you really need to download for AIM. AIM comes with backgrounds, smileys, IM sounds, icons, and lots of things, so you don't really need anything else I couldn't see why you would.
