: Good point but I think it's like how much of 100Mhz a 100BaseTX
:can push. If it pushes 100%, then it might be wise to have a little more
:room for overhead. Kinda like a car, better to have reserve power when
:you need it then pushing it to the max. In regards to 1000BaseT, I
:thought there was no standards for that yet, atleast all the Gigabit stuff
:is all fiber and not copper. Quality of cable does matter, atleast in
:high-end audio/video it does and I'm sure data would be more picky than
:human ears.

The copper gigabit standard isn't out yet, but I was under the impression
that they were pretty close.
In regards to audio/video verses ethernet, you have to remember that
audio and video are *analog*, not digital. The cable quality matters
for analog, but it only needs to be "good enough" for digital. If you
don't get any bit errors (and you shouldn't) then a better cable is not
going to make a difference.
