You can buy far cheaper pen tablets which are not Wacom to start off with, before going for a Wacom.
Many of the cheaper ones are fairly good for beginners.

the 6x11 and 12x19 intuos are the best for widescreens. Im planing on getting the 12 x 19 because i have a 24" screen. But if u have 19" screen 4x6 and 6x8 will be your size.
Ive heard also tho that wacom have driver problems on vista... and im using vista ultimate so i hope itll work.
btw im a graphic designer this pen tablets are a must to avoid carpal tunnels.

Get a Wacom Intuos2.
Sure they're older than the new Intuos3 models. But I still use one every day to draw with (here's an example: http://homepage.mac.com/favoritestudios/Sites/nobyl/index.html)
I have a small one and it does everything I need, they call it a 4x5. Here's a link to an Amazon page that describes it:
http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Intuos2-x-digitizer-electromagnetic/dp/B000060PEU
The things is, they don't produce the Intuos2 anymopre, so it's generall yout of stock. But you can find them cheap on eBay.
There's one on ebay right now for $1.04 and 2 days left.
So for less than $100 you could be in business. (And believe me, you will NEVER regret having a real Wacom tablet if you are drawing on the computer).
