CAT 5 or CAT6 cables?

I got a 3Com 3CR858-91 router and noticed I already have a CAT 5 cable. I was thinking it might be slower or have more errors than CAT6. Should I replace all the cables with CAT 6a? (It's for two computers hooked up to router and cable modem.)
 
If you crimp you own cables then Dutch them and buy commercially made.

Otherwise, your wasting your time and money CAT6 does not, improve, provides, or does anything that CAT5e does on a 100Mb/sec. or entry level Giga Networks.
