Gigabit Network: cat5 vs cat6 cables

[eva2000]

Just received my Netgear GS516T Gigabit switch and plugged it into my network and used Aida32 3.85v networking benchmark to test the throughput of the Gigabit switch via my PX865PE PRO2 and 4PCA3+ motherboards which have Gigabit onboard NICs

This result was benched while both pcs were folding 2 fah consoles each using cat5 and then cat6 cabling
