        That's definitely not 64bit so use the i386 version.

        What are the errors you're getting? What image are you installing from and how? More information will be helpful.  ;)

          I have done a number of pfSense installs on mini-ITX motherboards with VIA C3 CPUs and 256MB RAM.
          I have another mini-ITX motherboard with VIA C3 CPU and SATA drives connected to IDE sockets through IDE to SATA adapters.
          I am not aware of any reason why your configuration wouldn't work.

          In addition to information Steve has asked for: What boot device are you using?
          Have you tried installing onto the hard drive on another PC then moving the hard drive?

            thanks for the input….i figured out the problem i think...i was trying to install live-cd 2.0.2 i386 via usb-dvd drive with the iso burnt to a dvd...pfsense would not install even when i chose option 2....i then remembered i had a cd with version 1.2 laying around; this install without any issue with option 2....i dont know if it was the version i was trying to install or the install media that was causing the issue....now i will trying to install version 2.0.2 using a cd tomorrow
