      how this alert can be posible when i have 256 DDR on a 2800 Mhz system
      php: : New alert found: pfSense requires atleast 128 megabytes of RAM. Expect unusual performance. This platform is not supported.

        Make sure all the RAM is detected by the system (have a look at http://<firewall-ip>/status.php, section dmesg). Some faulty bioses only present part of the ram to freebsd. Check for bios updates.</firewall-ip>

          thx for advice now it`s fixed.

          It was an line in dmesg something like stolen memory  :) was the on board video card on share with 256 DDRAM and the result was only 128 DDRAM.Now i increased the memory at 512Mb and i use another video card that is not onboard.

          Thx again !!

            128 mb shared mem? You usually should be able to decrease this in the bios, maybe down to 32 or 16 mb or whatever is the lowest setting.
