DirectX is a collection of application program interfaces (APIs) designed to create and play back
multimedia content on personal computers. With these APIs, developers can easily create cutting-
edge graphic media such as 3D VRML and support Web technologies like streaming, moving
picture playback, and online gaming and modeling.

Audio drivers on the Evo N400c enable the ESS Allegro audio chipset to run multimedia
applications using Microsoft DirectSound audio capability. This PCI audio chipset accelerates
Microsoft DirectSound applications. In addition to playing WAV and MIDI files, DirectSound
provides a high-quality wave-mixing facility and an industry-standard MIDI playback system.
DirectSound also provides added control over the memory utilization of the sound controller,
allowing user selection of sounds to be cached.

DriveLock
DriveLock is a security feature that offers advanced protection against unauthorized access to
valuable data on computer hard drives. Two passwords control access to the hard drives, which
provide customers with a means to unlock a protected drive for which the day-to-day user
password has been lost. Hard drives protected with DriveLock remain protected even if removed
from the notebook. Features and settings are accessed through the Compaq F10 Setup Utility.
