   I've been looking at the ink for sale in the local Wal-Mart the last
couple of days.  I have not seen any ink package that was for Dell printers.

Can someone please point out the differences between a D510 with a 1.7

I recently purchased a Dell Dimension 3000, with XP home,, and I'm
experiencing very slow hard drive performance. The drive is a Maxtor
