May i ask the basic technical question? I want to use MySQL to deal with almost 100 GB dumps from wikipedia dumps, but one of technical supportors told me i can't use Windows system in my computer because there is 4 GB limit for 32 bit CPU. Is that true?
Since you aren't loading the whole dump into RAM, how many bits your OS is doesn't impose any limits. It's a question of how much disk space you have, and how fast your CPU is. Loading the full dump can take an extremely long time.
