While tech editing a book, I ran this exact scenario. With the SQL and SharePoint on the same virtual guest allocated 16G, I was not happy with performance and I was the only user. I would suggest 32G. On Wed, Sep 14, 2011 at 7:19 AM, Andrew S. Baker <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Agreed.

It would also be hosting the SQL Server 2008 Standard installation. Would 2 vCPUs be enough for running Sharepoint 2010?
