i'm only familiar w/ the powder form.. you cycle it for 3-4 weeks or so..

usually there is a loading phase where you take a lot at the beginning..

you'll gain a lot of water weight, but it's a good boost for the beginning of your workout.. i wouldn't stay on it too long, though.

Take the biggest dose after you workout mate. Your cells are more receptive to nutrients after exercise so the uptake is greater. Take it everyday and try to split the dose up as small as possible. For example if you were taking 5grams per day try to split it into 2 tabs morning, 1 tab pre-workout and 3 tabs post-workout. You want to be taking the majority when your cells are most receptive to nutrients and those times are

after an over-night fast with some carbohydrates
after exercise again with some carbohydrates

I'm guessing the tabs are 500mg? Don't worry too much about a loading phase as it's not really necessary. Drink plenty of water and cycle off every couple of months. You should get some decent results.

cheers guys, Ono i have only been taking the tablets on the day i train, do i really have to take everyday? as i really struggle to take in the water required

Iv'e used it in powder form but guess principle is the same. At first, say for 4 or 5 days, you should take it whether training or not. The 'loading' phase. Then just on days you are training. But you really should try to take on a lot of water, its quite important. Also, i'd say don't use it for a longer cycle then about 3 weeks.
