I want to download a database dump of wikipedia in English version from http://download.wikipedia.org/. But it's to large. I have not enough resource to download and process it. And I only need part of the database. Where can I download a subset of the database dump ? Thanks.

You can choose between only current version of the articles, current version of the articles plus user pages, and full dump with history (much larger). If you just want a few articles, use Special:Export.
What are part are you trying to download?
I only want to download the pages related to a category,such as "culture" or "history" category.

Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Export In "Add pages from category" insert: History and press Add. A list of all articles in History category will fill the box.
You can add the contents of more categories and they will be added at the bottom. Finally, press Export to download a dump of those pages selected (you can also manually add/remove them in the textbox).
Caveat: Adding the contents of Category:History will add the articles directly at Category:History, but not those at Category:Historians, which is a subcategory of History.
Here is the install/help file I created.
It was done real quick so if there is anything wrong just let me know :-)
Also I have made 2 posts on the apage forum about this new feature :-)
I will wait to hear back from you before I message all the users.
Cheers

Your email does not make sense in this mailing list. I assume you intended to send it somewhere else?
