Does Window Server 2012 Hyper-V Manager take alot of resources?

[Taswell]

only the resources needed to run the host so like 1GB of ram and some hard drive space.

Depends on how much cpu the guest is using. If you let the guest use all your cores and it maxes your cpu, then you real cpu will be maxed.

depends on your processor. If your trying to run hyper-v on a duel core proccessor its not going to work very well. 

 

The hyper-v manager is pretty much in an idle state unless you are changing settings, so it consumes next to no processing power 

 

any quad core should be able to handle 2 or 3 machines assuming you have enough ram, disk space, ect...  

 

what are the VMs going to be doing?

I've got it currently running on VPRO NUC's (SSD/16GB) at the moment with 2 VM's and it's happy.
