CAT5e would be fine for now, but since you're going through a decent amount of effort, spending a little extra on CAT6 for futureproofing makes sense.
Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw. Running WinXP.
Cool... I just have to try and figure out where to put the cable... The phone socket is nowhere near my PC, so I am not sure what I am going to do with the ADSL Router...
The Welsh support two teams when it comes to rugby. Wales of course, and anyone else playing England
you can probably tuck the cable under the baseboard, if you have wall to wall carpet installed, then get some nice keystone jacks to make pretty cable outlets.
Cat6 seems to be the better choice if you want to have a good connection with Gigabit ethernet.. on 100Mbit ethernet Cat5 or 5e is plenty good

Check the specs.. I agree with Wombat.. might as well go with Cat6. MHz rating differs by brand, though.. I have seen it rated as high as 600MHz and as low as 350 MHz and still be called Cat6. Here's a link:
Gigabit still only needs 250MHz on each of the 4 pairs it uses, if I remember correctly, so a cable rated at 350MHz should be fine.. sure 600MHz is good, as long as the price is close to the other types.

Originally posted by Paddy To avoid messing with walls and plaster, I have half a mind to run the cable around the house as it is detached...
sure, then you can hide it with some climbing plants of some sort.
Yeah, well I'm gonna build my own lunar space lander! With blackjack aaaaannd Hookers! Actually, forget the space lander, and the blackjack. Ahhhh forget the whole thing!
wouldn't some small plastic conduit work in that respect?
