the more memory you have, the less chance the process may crash. RAM is always important no matter what. So yeah 2gb of RAM is a minimum for a process like this.. (a minimum in 2008 as well at the cost it is now).

WAC- Beyond the Borders will add stuff to all surrounding provinces. How much stuff remain to be seen, but the first step is to spawn creatures and a bit more landscape stuff around maybe (like ingredient). The main goal however is adding spawn points at first to have life in the barren territory around the map.
once that is done, it will already be something on it's own.
Creativity with it will come once this first step is done. After, adding goblins camps or human camps, or towers or small villages too maybe possible. Goblins patrols (something I plan to add to WAC).. many small stuff like this. A few spots you can travel to, I don't aim to recreate the provinces as they should be in lore, but to at least provide an alternate solution to make those part a bit more interesting to go through.
it will be a lot more esp for WAC, but that should be held in a separate esp for each provinces. This will permit someone to change one region and another to change another region at the same time.

this is meant to be done at night or when the computer is not used. Everybody need at least 8hours of sleep? I think in around 8h or less, a decent good machine will have generated the region content.

Only problem I have, is that I don't even have the CS installed. It's no biggie to install it, but after that I would need a step by step instruction...
So if you (or somebody else) are willing to give me that, I'll let my calculator do the rest.
Greetz! Darina
Cool!
You have the best rig so far ! The process is quite simple, I explained it a bit in this topic, but once I'm ready I will do a more detailed explanation of what to do. It's going to be very simple.
I do need all your spec people, not just I have 4 gb of RAM. That will tell me what to give to whom, as not all regions are the same size, so the best boxes will get the biggest workload, and possibly also a try to see if even more content could be added with a powerful machine.
this is a process that will maybe need a few try if something go wrong, sometimes it does, but if it's being done by a PC that is
left alone while processing it should be working fine.
It's like making a heavy render in a 3D software (very big scene or animation), you shouldn't touch the computer while it compute. This is always better if done at night when there's no chance you would need it. Renderfarms in the industry will work 24/7, and at night add the artist's workstations processors to the lot making even more power accessible to compute heavy content.
