A computer can still operate without virtual memory (virtual memory is just hard drive space that is set aside to allow the computer to swap data to and from actual RAM). It is just that on a modern multitasking system things could slow down if you have a lot of things going on and the system is reaching its memory limit. With virtual memory turned off a system with minimal memory will tend to really slow down a lot. It may not be as bad on a system with lots of memory (like 2GB or more).

How do you use a virtual terminal?

A virtual terminal is basically a software that is run on your computer, where you input credit card information when making sales. Think of it as a point-of-sale terminal hardware, without the hardware. Your computer needs to be connected to the internet so that the credit card information is processed through whomever you use as a merchant account provider. You can also purchase a card reader that plugs into your computer, so you can actually swipe credit cards that way.
