No, that does not turn of virtual memory, it turns of the page file. The 
page file is part of the a common virtual memory implementation, but the 
most important part is that you have a non-linear physical memory (hence the 
"virtual" in "virtual memory"). In effect, disabling the page file simply 
means the system cannot move writable memory out to disk. The system still 
can move all read-only memory to disk, such as code and static data (i.e. 
resources) loaded from application and library files.
