Re: "Can anybody explain what this differential clock feature is?" One only has to look at Intel's Hublink specification to see how a differential clocking scheme works. On Hublink, there are 2 pins for the clock with differential signals, meaning one is the inverse of the other. This provides noise immunity. The clocking is also source synchronous, meaning that whoever is driving the bus is also providing the clock. In this scheme, the clock is a bidirectional pin. This solves clock/data skew problems with highspeed busses/ports. The first mainstream PC architecture to use a sources synchronous clock was AGP but it did not use a differential clock in it's early incarnations. EP
