Keyboard layouts?

I just got a Dell with the "enhanced multimedia keyboard" that has 5 buttons, 3 buttons, and silver volume knob on the top right.

I'm kind of fussy about my keyboards, and this one feels great - but I don't think I can handle the non-standard layout of the HOME/END/DEL/PgUP/PgDn/INS keys.  I can see they were trying to narrow the keyboard by one keycap width, but I can't stand it!  I'm a little surprised to be the only one that hates the way the rearranged these keys.

Does the normal dell keyboard have a standard layout?  I couldn't tell from the web store photos. 

How about the layout of the wireless keyboard/mouse?  Does it correspond with any of the Logitech models I could check out in the stores? 

I actually ordered the wireless in the first place but was contacted to change it due to incompatibility with Audigy 2 - now I find the only incompatibility is with the Logitech wireless multimedia keys.  I don't need or want the multimedia keys, in fact I shut them off whenever possible.
