Hello all,
Where would I download memcache and how do you install it? I am running Windows 2003 server R2, Moodle 1.9.5, Php 5.2.6, Apache 2.2.10, MYSql 5.0.51A. Thanks for your help.
Here's one article on how to do it:

I haven't used it myself though... I did a bit of research on Memcache a while ago and found things like: Performance gain with Memcached on Windows?
http://code.jellycan.com/memcached/ and http://code.google.com/p/memcached/wiki/Clients have links to Memcached binaries for Windows.
But I ended up installing a PHP accelerator (eAccelerator) on the web server instead. I got a really nice performance boost with that. I wasn't able to really get Memcached working properly as a proxy for database queries - not enough to justify rolling it out onto my Moodle production box...
