Explanation The amount of system RAM (random access memory) is a component that can affect the performance of a Type 2 hypervisor, which is a software program that runs on top of an existing operating system and allows multiple virtual machines to run simultaneously. The amount of system RAM determines how much memory is available for the hypervisor and the virtual machines to use. Increasing the amount of system RAM can improve the hypervisor's performance by allowing more memory allocation for each virtual machine and reducing the need for swapping or paging. NIC performance, storage IOPS, and dedicated GPU are not components that can directly improve the hypervisor's performance.
