Well - standard Cat 5 is certified for 100 mbps, there is no home network that will come even close to using that speed. Cat 5e, Cat 6, and Cat 7 is a waste unless you have the rest of the equipment to take advantage of it. If you are using gigabit cards then it is required, but with 10/100 cards and equipment don't waste your money.
