Deselecting Virtual Memory won't hurt anything unless it's actively being used - if which case I don't it will allow you to deselect it. Virtual Memory (aka Swap) is really nothing more than a temporary holding place.
The only reason I had suggested Honeybadger deselect it is because he was getting errors that his internal (non-removable) MMC was in use - I know that the N810 uses the internal (non-removable) MMC as it's choice for swap usage. I fear that something in his swap has become corrupted and I don't know how to tell HB to fix because he/she is missing some important abilities - namely the ability to become root.
I guess this should be a lesson to each and every N810 user out there. Make sure one of the first things you do is install becomeroot to make sure that you can do tasks from the command line that require root access - because if things go wrong on your internal card it's not like you can just pop it out and reformat in a desktop computer.
