How do people draw anything larger than a few hundred pixels by a few hundred pixels? I tried using my Bamboo in Photoshop with a decent-sized canvas and everything slowed to a crawl. It shouldn't be my computer (i7, 4 GB RAM, discrete graphics) but this is infuriating. I was trying to write some things in Japanese and strokes were coming two seconds later than I actually drew them.

Yeah. I try 800 x 600 at 150 dpi and crawwwwwwwl.

That, more than anything, has kept me from picking up my tablet. I've also tried Painter and a few Japanese apps, all the same. I was wondering if Win 7 64-bit and Wacom have problems or something.

SAI is one of the ones I tried. I've tried drawing with Task Manager open and whatever application I'm using tends to jump up to 80+% usage, which is absolutely ridiculous.

could I please get a really definitive end-all verdict on this?

There isn't one. It depends on the person's skill level and expectations.

The Bamboo comes in various sizes depending on which one you get.
