[HLUG] Mixing CAT5 and CAT6

I have a lot of old CAT5 ethernet wires and routers,
but just ordered some CAT6 which is faster.

I've read somewhere that networks slow down to the speed of the slowest 
link.

How can I mix them?
If I use old Linksys  10/100 routers will it slow everything else down?

Could I have a slow network going to far away rooms for guests
and a fast one around my office?
