SQL Server 2005 ( 32 Bit ) Memory Setting

I am currently responsible for a production SQL Server RDB that is configured on a 2 node cluster.  This system has 32 gig of RAM, and I have set the appropriate min and max memory settings.  The OS is Windows Standard Edition ( 32 bit )

My question is, should I set the SQL Server Service account user up with the ability to lock pages in memory?  If so do I need to make the setting change on both nodes in the cluster? ( I **believe** the answer would be yes )  What other steps would be necessary to implement the changes ( if necessary )?

I understand that in the 64 bit world you would not do this, but they are still on the 32 bit architecture at the moment.

Thanks in advance for the guidance.

All the other setting you mentioned are in place.  Once the configuration change is made, do I have to restart anything besides SQL Server service for it to take affect?
For the first two configuration changes, you need to restart your machine to bring that into effect..
Rest three didn't require any restart..
