Describe how a computer system operates without virtual memory?

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).
