In one of our cases,zhangkun and me find GE is so sensitive to crosstalk. 
we use oscilloscope find the eye is perfect, when we disable the GE,we can find 
GE has only 70mv crosstalk from others signal.
Even we add 70mv crosstalk to the eye , the perfect eye still will not touch 
the GE eye pattern(the pattern state by IC manufacturer).
Why little crosstalk will result in bit error?
