Memory setting on a Cluster

Hello, I am purchasing a HP DL-380 (Cluster)
I am planing to install Windows 2003 and SQL 2000
Both machine has 4 GB o Physical Memory (RAM), but I want to put 6 GB in the
Active Machine and 2 GB in the Passive Machine.
So, That is possible?
1) Is possible to have differentes memory configuration in a cluster?
2) SQL 2000 and Windows 2003 supports 6GB of Physical Memory?
Thanks a lot!!
AA
I forgot to mention that both machine are with 32 bits processors
Thanks again

|||1. Yes, it is possible. Not sure why you'd want to do it though.
2. Yes, it is supported as long as you enable AWE.

|||1. ) because an error in the requirement the cluster come with 4 GB Memory
each, but I think that the Active Server must be more powerful
In the current environment we have installed SQL 2000 in a single machine
dual processor and is UP without restart (the OS and the DB) for more that 6
months, without any kind of problems. In two years we NEVER have any
problems with our SQL 2000 database. I am very happy
So, I want to use the Pasive machine just for emergencies (when the Active
Failure) and increment the Active server power.
Is that ok?
Thanks Michael

fail over, you can have some performance issues.
