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.
