Blue Gene supercomputers are large clusters of ppc440 machines. Iirc each node consists of two 32bit cpus and up to 4GB of RAM. Not likely to run squashfs, but hardly old hardware either. Or for a living room example, take a barebone with a VIA C7. And maybe fairly soon a large number of mobile phones will have close to 4GB RAM, yet still run on 32bit ARM processors. I fear those troubles are far from gone.
