My Dell Vostro 1500 (bought refurb'd only about 1-1/2 years ago)
supports those small cards but also does not have a CF slot... a point
that was not mentioned in the specs when I bought it. However, it's
just as well. Those built-in slots are likely only connected to a USB
port. For very little money you can buy a CF to Expresscard adapter
(like this one) that will run faster than USB 2.0.

I have one of these. Not precision made but it works fine. Maybe the
Delkin name brand one would be better built
