my ethernet question

[xkmonkey]

I have a hand built monster of a computer. However, i am still getting the same latency on games as my old computer. Which i think is due to ethernet cords or my router.

I have a linksys wireless g 2.4 ghz model wrt54GS model router

I have heard that certain ethernet is better then others such as cat 6 but ive only heard people talk about it associated to servers. I talked to a bestbuy guy he said i wouldnt get much more if anything out of that type of ethernet. However, half the best buy guys actually know what there talking about.

I have the highest quality internet my service provides so thats not the issue. I am still getting 290 ms in some games which isnt a lot but is at the same time in games that come down to the wire.

So my question is will cat 6 quality ethernet get rid of some of my lag. Also is there anything else i can do to get some of the lag gone. All be it not a lot its annoying for some of the things i do.
