Another way to explain my issue is that normally I think people work with large PROJECTS on their PCs.. large projects with many small files. For example a video is a HUGE project full of relatively small files.. even high definition video has relatively small single images. Processing high def video you are using a fairly small amount of info at a time that can be swapped out while you are watching it and shuffled around.
With my project I am using a relatively small amount of info for my entire project compared to a high def video.. but in my case it's a huge bonus to have ALL the info for my entire project (each comic and all my relevant research) in my RAM.. because then I can access all of it instantly.
Plus the individual files I will be working on, that make up my comic, are immense compared to something like high def video image or even groups of images.
This is the way I understand it at least...
Also remember that these art programs keep many many copies of each layer of your image so that you can go back and undo changes... and I make many tiny changes at a time (pencil strokes or paint brush strokes or paint layers). The more undos you have available the more flexibility you have undoing mistakes. That also creates huge files.
