Han,

As you did not mention how long the line is, one thing to watch that the
combination of line length, capacitance, and series termination do not cause
a change in the DC level: a complete low or high transition may not be
possible and this reduces the voltage margin.  I noticed this last month on
someone's board where the series termination allowed a 1.3V initial
transition, but the signal average value was 2V.  This was a very long line
for 100MHz, but adding a capacitor could have a similar effect.
