Hardware planning worksheet
Fictional inventories; no device was inspected.

Activity computer:
RAM installed: 16 GiB
RAM already in use: 7 GiB
Free storage: 120 GiB
CPU architecture: x86-64
Physical CPU cores: 4

Proposed practice guest:
RAM: 4 GiB
Virtual CPUs: 2
Virtual disk maximum: 30 GiB

Make separate RAM, CPU and storage rows in your notes.
Subtract existing use and guest RAM from installed RAM.
Subtract the disk maximum from free storage as a planning allowance.
Allow more storage for the downloaded installer image and snapshots.
Explain why spare disk space cannot be counted as spare RAM.
These values are an arithmetic exercise, not a performance guarantee.

Separate question case:
An editor holds an unsaved paragraph as active working data.
The saved document is a separate file on persistent disk storage.
Which resource holds the active working data in the lesson's model?
Answer format: RAM or disk storage.
