Models without integrated USB require optional USB hardware such as the Compaq USB PC Card. 41 Multiple Monitor Support requires multiple video controllers. Only some Armada products feature a dual video controller architecture that enables this feature. Compaq notebook families listed as not supporting Windows 98 multiple monitor features may support it using a second video card in a docking station. For the purposes of this table, only those notebooks capable of supporting the feature without a second video card were noted as such. 42 ACPI is supported under Windows 98 on selected Armada portable families but requires an ACPI-enabled BIOS. Check www.compaq.com/support to determine if the BIOS installed on your Armada model supports ACPI or if a BIOS upgrade is required. 43 The Armada 6500 has ClientWORKS, which offers similar functionality.
