        Perhaps you have a motherboard with integrated graphics and the BIOS allocates about 1GB to the integrated graphics adapter.

        Probably 8MB would be more than ample for use with pfSense.

          I will have to check that, but it is a 19" rack mount appliance box with a low end video onboard (vga) card.

          I just physically checked the box and to my embarrassment the box only has 1Gb of RAM in it .. must have been high when I built it hehehe :)
