I think I'm answering this right. Yes there would be a bottleneck going on between the two connection speeds. But the gigabit system would have bandwidth left over to talk with your other PCs or connections. In a case where you only have two Computers you won't see a diffence than what you hand before running both systems at 100mb, expect that your GB system would be able to download off the Internet and talk to the other PC with out slowing down.

As for CAT6, CAT6 won't make your 100mb connections run any faster. The diffence between your CAT cables are how they twist each pair. The twist helps prevert cross talk on each pair, allow the cable to handle a higher Hz. What would happen is if you were to run Gigabit out on normal CAT5 to the max of 300feet, the level of noise on the wire would be so great the the packets would never make it to where they were going.
