I have a big box with sql 2012 standard edition. 128 gig of ram. Since there is a 64 gig memory limit on 2012 std edition, I was thinking of firing up 2 instances (this is an active/passive cluster). and assigning 64 gig to each instance. The server is licensed per proc so for the license side I think I am ok, from a technical perspective does anyone see an issue?

No, can't think of any technical reasons not to do this. The 64gb limit in Standard Edition is per-instance.

Yeah a great reason to go to 2012 I know of several people who bought monster box for 2008 and now are stuck with extra memory unless they have a ton of cash to go to enterprise edition
