    Does anyone use a Wacom graphire tablet? Does it need a 120v connection or is it powered through the USB port?

    Thanks!

    I've got one and it is powered by the USB port

    Yes - it is good. Not as fancy as the intuos or others but having a mouse as well is really handy.

    My only niggle is that the thing seems a bit slow/hesitant when lots of processor activity is happening. (PIII 450 128 MB win98 should be enough). I'm going to upgrade to Win2000 and see what happens.

    Cheers

    I don't have a Graphire or Win 2000, but upgrading to Win 2K (which is the latest version of NT) is likely to slow everything down. Windows ME might improve on 98, but the differences will be small.

    I upgraded to Windows 2000 to get USB working. It is a darn sight slower than NT 4.0 was.

    Of course, I have a Cyrix 300 processor so I'm hardly on the bleeding edge. I have an AMD K6-2+ 500MHz coming that should really improve speed around here.

    I would also recommend 256MB. I have 160MB RAM, and memory frequently dwindles to 12-18MB free for me.

    I think I'll have to get me one for my new laptop then. My Wacom 9X12 has been great for my desktop but I didn't want something I had to plug in for the portable

    I bought a Graphire today and it works great with the laptop. It's nice not having to plug it in!

    Great - I hope X comes out soon so you (and I) can use that pressure sensitivity.

    I've got an old Pentium Pro 200 w/ 64mb and NT4 workstation. It is a pig, even with all SCSI drives. I swear it takes ten minutes just to boot. Installing 128mb didn't seem to make much difference. It just sucks. It's used for network backups and burning CDs, but that's about it.

    I've got W2K Pro installed on one machine so far, a PII-400 with 256mb, and it FLIES. It boots up faster than my identical computer with Win98SE (granted, the 98 machine has a whole lot more crap installed).

    So as usual, YMMV... give yourself some RAM and a new fast hard drive and your W2K installation should be nice and speedy. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
