VM Sizing

I thought that I would make it easy for everyone and have a page showing the VM sizing I use for each System Center product.

As I write the various guides for each specific product, I will update this page to include the specs I use for the VMs. That way I can keep the generic guides (i.e. System Center 2012 SP1 in a LAB – Installation Part A to Part D), well, generic.
