Surface RT pens for digital art

so i'm buying a surface RT to use as a portable tablet (i draw with photoshop and SAI). i know of people who have used it as a replacement for a cintiq companion (which is way too expensive) and for my budget it seems like my best bet.

the only thing is that i can't seem to find a non capacitative stylus for it. i know someone who uses a bamboo stylus on theirs, but i haven't been able to reach them and ask how they managed to make it work. i'm assuming there's drivers you have to install for it, and i've looked everywhere on the internet but all people talk about is styluses for the newer surface tablets.

i already have a bamboo pen & touch, will its stylus be completely useless on a surface RT?

    you will NOT get pressure sensitivity on RT. and photoshop and SAI will NOT run

    on RT.

    Nope. You will need to buy a stylus for the Pro models that are currently

    available.
