From BroadbandUtopia:

"The general difference between category 5e and category 6 is in the transmission performance, and extension of the available bandwidth from 100 MHz for category 5e to 200 MHz for category 6."

I think a major difference is that gigabit would probably run slightly better on Cat6. Although it runs perfectly well on Cat5E as well.
