The standard process memory limit on all 32-bit versions of windows is 2GB.
This usually doesn't matter, since you can't use more than around 3GB of
memory as long as you run a 32-bit OS.

If you're running a 64-bit version of Windows, and want to use more than 2GB
per memcached instance, you also need a 64-bit version of the memcached
server. I've never tried recompiling it with 64-bit support, it's quite
possible that it will just work. If you run the 32-bit version of the
memcached server on 64-bit windows, you're probably still limited to 2GB or
so.

Not that any of this is something you really need to worry about anyway.
Just run more instances - problem solved.
