1 – why is the max RAM for a 32-bit OS 4 GiB?
2 – virtual memory is called what on Linux? Where is it

3 – how many CPU(s) does the VM have?
4 – list all PCI devices; how many of them are there?
5 – Without looking these up, try to spell-out these
acronyms:
BIOS, UEFI, SCSI, IDE, SATA, IRQ, DMA, PCI
Answer 1

Every byte of RAM requires its own address, and the processor
limits the length of those addresses. A 32-bit processor uses
addresses that are 32 bits long. There are only 4,294,967,296, or
4GB, possible 32-bit addresses.
