Virtual Memory is kept in a RAM chip inside a computer and is described as "volatile" i.e it will disappear when a computer is switched off, you also will find it inside graphics cards (the more it has, the more complex graphics it can process.)
Many windows and some Unix systems also use a small portion of the hard drive as virtual memory, though you can set limits on this or remove it entirely.
