Hey,
| What is the limitation of a 32-bit architecture as it
| relates to RAM and MySQL Cluster?
I actually don't know about how mysql cluster is programmed
according to memory usage, but I can tell you that no
application can use more than 4GB memory on 32bit x86
servers. Redhat enterprise supports more that 4GB using
high address memory and em64t technology, but due to
how memory configurations above the 32bit address limitations
are supported no application can use more than 4GB.
Of course you can run 2 4GB memory consuming applications
on you 8GB server but this might not work with mysql cluster.
You should probably consider using a 4 node cluster where
you have 2 groups with each 2 nodes for redundancy and
splitting the dataset across two servers.
I think this will be easier for you at the cost of
more hardware and probably more point of failures.
