If you've got Cat5e running in the office, and assuming it was cleanly installed with no kinks or sharp bends, and everything terminated correctly, and the runs are not too long, you'll find that they can support speeds much higher than 10/100 -- perhaps not all the way up to 1000, but pretty close. I'd say if the speed issue is a problem, consider getting the gigabit cards and test it out. We've done that in our office and found that the speed increase has been well worth it. If you're not sure about the cables, I'd recommend getting them tested and validated, the way we did.
