Hi All,
I have asked to write down several options for new SQL 2008 R2 in both virtual and/or physical environments according to our corporate standards.
I've only been able to find (from Microsoft) the following...and at this point I'm mostly interested in CPU and RAM parameters. I realize in the virtual world 'many' things come into play but yet there have to be some minimum CPUs and RAM.
I anyone can guide where to find them or list them??

I found these for physical in MS website:
Processor type:
• Minimum: AMD Opteron, AMD Athlon 64, Intel Xeon with Intel EM64T support, Intel Pentium IV with EM64T support
Processor speed:
• Minimum: 1.4 GHz
• Recommended: 2.0 GHz or faster

and for RAM our corporate decided on 32GB across the board.

Thanks in advance for any prompt replies!!
