About 2G memory problem and connection memory usage

http://lists.danga.com/pipermail/memcached/2007-August/004956.html

 

As far as this list is concerned, if you run a 32-bit 
Linux OS, 

memcached can only use 2GB of memory for the entire process.  That 

includes the memory needed for connections.  If you run a 64-bit
 Linux 

OS, you do not have this limit
.  A limit exists, but there is no current 

hardware available that can reach the mathematical limit.

32-bit OS : memcached memoery <=2G

64-bit OS : can be >2G
