Re: Cat 5 vs Cat 6

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

If your current wiring is either flakey or poorly done, replacing it will
improve network performance. If your current wiring was done according to
specs and is working correctly there is no benefit in replacing it.

I'm sure there is an answer there is going to be a difference of opinion
about this, but I was wondering if anyone can tell me if going from Cat 5
to
Cat 6 will increase my bandwidth speed on my connection to my main
computer.

Just curious.

Thanks,

Ryan
