how can i do that if my PC is using the latest Ubuntu release compatible with a 4 MB RAM PC?
How can I find out my PC's hardware specifications without formatting? (Ubuntu)
In summary, to find out the hardware specifications of your PC without formatting on Ubuntu, you can use the command "sudo lshw" in the terminal. This will provide a detailed list of all the hardware components in your system, including the CPU, memory, storage, and peripherals. Additionally, you can also use the command "lspci" to specifically view information about your system's PCI devices. Another option is to use the "System Profiler and Benchmark" tool, which can be found in the Ubuntu Software Center, to get a graphical overview of your hardware specifications. These methods allow you to access your PC's hardware information without having to reformat your system.

This has nothing to do with reformatting. DO NOT REFORMAT!
Linux has terminal commands to see detailed system information:
For cpu information: 'lscpu' or 'cat /proc/cpuinfo'
For RAM information: 'cat /proc/meminfo'
There are several others. See https://linux.how2shout.com/linux-system-info-commands-using-terminal/

(OK, I know that it was likely a typo
)Ps.: BIOS will be happy to give you the details, just don't save or modify anything there.
Only the video parameters requires some OS level digging.
