by definition you can't assign more than a 'maximum' if there were one. You can practically assign almost as much memory as you have free memory available on your system. You can use the -m command line flag to set the amount of memory each memcached instance uses. The approach (and what makes memcached really useful) to allocating more memory than you have on a single server is to run multiple instances on multiple servers; this way you get a larger total amount of memory. All clients will then distribute their cache requests across multiple servers. You might also find more useful information here: http://www.socialtext.net/memcached/index.cgi -- Jehiah
