SQL Server memory Configuration - SCOM 2012 R2

Question

Hi,
The following article http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682077#BKMK_SupConfigSQLDBconfig states the following about SQL Server memory configuration for SCCM:
When you use a database server that is co-located with the site server, limit the memory for SQL Server to 50 to 80 percent of the available addressable system memory.
When you use a dedicated SQL Server, limit the memory for SQL Server to 80 to 90 percent of the available addressable system memory.
The question is:
Is there any advice (from technet articles) about SQL Server memory configuration for SCOM 2012 R2?
Thanks in advance!

Hi There,
Read the 5th point below
General SQL Server recommendations for System Center 2012 R2
This information describes general recommendations for SQL Server regardless of what System Center component you are deploying.
You will need a minimum of four computers to deploy all System Center components. Aside from performance reasons, not all system components can coexist on the same computer. For more information, see Component
Coexistence for System Center 2012 R2.
For testing purposes only, one SQL Database Engine Services instance may be used for all components, but is not recommended in a production setting due to performance concerns.
Reporting Services instances cannot be shared between System Center components.
SQL_* collations are being deprecated for their Windows equivalents.
Limit the memory of each SQL Server instance such that the Total Memory setting allows a minimum of 1 GB (2GB preferred) of free memory after all services are running.
System Center components requiring the most disk resources are Service Manager, Operations Manager and Configuration Manager.
Disks used should be formatted to a 64K allocation unit size.
Disks used should be configured to allow 20% free space after all calculations for monitoring. Set growth upper limits to not exceed this space limit.
Pre-sizing is preferred - use auto-grow if needed as it uses more resources.
Set Pre-size to 8GB/2GB as a minimum. 20-30% of the database file size is a rule of thumb.
Set Auto-grow to 500/100 as a minimum.
