Ethernet?

Just moved into a new house and would like to be able to game in my bedroom, but the router is in the den, I suppose you could say. Close enough to use an Ethernet cable, but I'm worried my gaming would lag or be hindered if I get a cruddy cable. The only one at the BX (military) is a 100MB/s cable. Is that too slow for games like Halo? And it's a 25' cable, kinda needs to be at least that long... I know the longer they are, the slower they are...

Any help would be much appreciated guys.

Oh, and I don't want to go wireless just because it's $50 (Amazon, N1 for the 360) or $99 locally. Why spend that much when I can just do it for a fraction of the cost?

Is the 100 MB/s fast enough?

Yea you probably wont even use 1/10 of that. And you are talking about 100 megabytes a second? Or is it megabits? Either way its more then enough speed...
