Also GbE needs *very* carefull cable layout. 100Mm's will cope with 
small cable bends but Giga requires miniimun curves of around 18 inches
which makes some of my "around the architrave" cabling *dead*.

Reneber that cat5e does not cope wih being crushed - but copes will
with being eaten by german shepherds :-)
