will this work just like a cat5 crossover to link my comp with my laptop?
It's rated for higher frequencies then cat5. Will work fine.

Cat 5e is rated to a bandwidth of 100mhz.
Cat 6 is rated to a bandwidth of 250mhz.
Any advantage from using a Cat 6 cable vs Cat 5e right now would be in better transmission performance and some improved immunity from external noise because of the lower specs to get a higher bandwidth capability. If your installing an entire network it would gain you some future compatability.

It should be noted that you need Cat6 for a Gigabit network. However, it's fully compatible with 10/100 equipment as well.
I thought Cat5e would also work for gigabit? Regardless, we use Cat6 in my house. Cat5 in school though.
