Does anybody know a good drawing tablet for graphic designers (rather than just a student note taker)? So far it seems like Wacom is the company to go with, but maybe I'm wrong. The Genius F610 is on sale at buy.com for about 70$ but I hear that that tablet lags on Windows XP. Anybody have any suggestions/personal experience about what to buy? I don't want to spend over a 100$.

still gonna use this for the bamboo:

the bamboo is a waste of money. i prefer the intuos3 as a starter wacom tablet. bamboos have only 512 pressure points & 2500 lines per inch, while the intuos has 1024 pressure points & 5000 lines per inch - far more accurate, especially on a tablet that's only 4x6.

for the future, unless you absolutely need a huge screen, go for the smaller ones. the smaller, the better, when it comes to 1024 pressure points. points that are closer together means much smoother lines and easier details.

i hate those things. definitely not worth it.
