The other way round Steffen. If both PC ethernet ports are 100Mb or slower you will need a crossover cable.
I've got Cat5 (it has been there a long time) going through the ceiling. I had to put a 100Mb switch in SWMBO's study to force her PC to 100Mb, since the cable is not really up to the 1Gb that the boxes in my study use.
