Re: Cat5e, Cat6 - Gigabit Network Benefits
How about using an app such as NETTEST to test actual throughput on different spec's of cables? You would then be able to make an informed decision on whether you'd see a noticable difference.

In reality, our gigabit network in our office at work only attains about 400mb/s over cat5e through gigabit switch ports to the server which is also on GIGe
