Ok i am new to this forum, i recently had a look at some Wacom Tablets and i was wondering *which tablet you can suggest* for me to get for my system..
my specs:
=========
pentium 2/celeron 366
64 megs ram
matrox mga g200
17inch monitor
I am upgrading the ram soon [only if needed]
i will be adding another 128megs..
i found the 4x5 PenPartner USB at the cheapest price, but im not to fussed paying extra for a decent tablet, just to suit my system requirements...

I have a 4x5 and it runs great on as low as a P133, so I think you can go bigger and still have it work good. The bigger you get the better detail you can get out of it. |

You'll get my Wacom Intuos 6�8 when you dig me up and pry it from my cold dead fingers
Really, the 6�8 is awesome, as is the rest of the Intuos line. If money wasn't an object at the time, I might have gone up a notch and got the 9�12, but I have zero complaints about the 6�8. And, you might even do fine with just a 4�5. They're also excellent, although some find them too small. But IMO, stick with Intuos and you won't be sorry.

Well, i recently got a 9x12, and it's awsome.
it's the perfect size. large enough to trace images, but not too big so that u wont need a whole new desk for it or anything. it's... *sniff* beautifull.... hehe. i highly reccommend this size. if money's an issue, then wait until u have enough for the 9x12. (if u wanna just mess around on a tablet to see if u wanna get into grapics, then the wacom graphire >4x6< is pretty good to start off with). but for me, it's 9x12 all the way baby (unless of course i win the lottery and have money to throw around to buy the bigger one, hehe.) |

I know this doesn't help you d-no, but since we're on the subject...
I am too going to buy a Wacom Intuos, and planning to get a 12x12... but how does that work? And do you think its worth it? (keeping in mind that the 12x12 is only around 20 bucks [i think] more expensive than the 9x12) |

Thanx for the feedback, ok i will go for the 6x8 intuos pen. I use photoshop and i read somewhere here people complain about jaggered lines appearing.. Will this occur only in photoshop? Or do i need Painter to use the pen with accurate detail?
