Actually, Cat5e should handle Gigabit... as long as it's good quality and actually rated for Cat-5e, rather than just labeled Cat-5e.
As for why it was going so slow... could have been a bad or substandard cable..
Someplace in the back of my mind, among the other rubbish, I think there is some data about some model(s) of Mac with Gigabit Ethernet that didn't have great gigabit speeds? Or am I imagining it?
