My understanding is that Cat5 is and has always been the minimum requirement for 1000base-T. At a quick glance, Wikipedia appears to agree, though it suggests 5e or 6 is preferred. On slightly deeper reading, it seems that while all of these specs have the same target characteristics, the tolerances reduce as the spec goes higher, so more reliable performance is likely. I now see more point in the higher specs than I did half an hour ago :-) I agree with the requirement to do the cabling, and especially terminations, properly.
