need advice for a drawing tablet!

[stormrider85]

ok before i start i already know a little bit about drawing tablets and i know wacom is the best.>:D
here's my dilemma, this is the first time im going to be using a drawing tablet and ive looked around and different wacom models.To be honest i dont have the cash for the intuos 2 or 3 and the only others i found (that's in my price range) was the graphire 3 and 4.I wanna ask anybody with experience with these models to give me some advice if their worth buying, or good enough to get decent works out from them.Does anybody even use the graphire models here?
Any good advice would be much appreciated!:)

I use a Graphire3 and have no complaints whatsoever. I'm sure when I upgrade to an Intuos it'll be hard to go back, but it's a huge upgrade from a mouse and perfect for someone who can't afford the better models.

i wasn't really being a smart ass, just making an observation.
now i will be a smart ass:
ever give the search option a try? yeah, i guess not.

[stormrider85]

I really see what Marko meant about the same posts over and over. Granted, from a newbie point of view, it always seems fine to ask. But when you're on the forum so long, and see this at the very least once a week, it becomes a pet peave. No real point here, just stating an observation.

thanks for the back up, int.

and i know for a fact i have posted in at least one thread of these that a graphire 3 is pretty ok. recently. so you didn't look well enough, mang!

"Search this Forum" link on top of Lounge has been disabled....so how do you search a catagory if the search has been disabled?....actually, certain search functions work, some don't. Apparently the Search function on top of this thread works.

I think any of the USB Intuous Wacoms are fine, paticularly 8x12 size. Just go to ebay.
