I know you could probably run SQL 2005 64Bit on a 64bit Cluster and then make an instance of SQL 2008 64bit on the same cluster, but why in run 32bit SQL 2005 and 64bit SQL 2005 on the same cluster and for 2k8 for the same manner.
Usually you want your 2 node clusters in Active/Passive, and if you run more than 1 instance, then you going to have to do your homework on the divvy up of the processor/memory, etc etc accordingly to include failover..

We have a 2003 server 2 node cluster running SQL 2005 32&64bit & SQL 2008 32&64bit. Anyone else doing this? Does anyone know if this configuration is supported by Microsoft? I can't seem to find anything official on the web... ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
