It's sorta true.  What you're talking about is called full-duplex ethernet.
Many 10Mb cards don't support it, although almost all 10/100Mb cards do.
To do it, you'll also need to connect all your machines to an ethernet
switch capable of full duplex (most are).  Using a regular hub forces 
everything to run at regular half-duplex.  The cost of the switch usually
makes this arrangement unreasonable.

I'd recommend twisted pair, but not for reliability and flexibility reasons,
not for performance.
