 ~~NOTOC~~
 ====== Memcached Setup ======
-Memcached provides a controlled, server based memory caching service. The server is reasonably easily configured and installed, but provides a sophisticated caching configuration. PHP support for the library is available through the PHP PEAR memcached library. For larger environments, an array of memcached hosts can be specified.

-There are 2 pear modules for connection to a Memcached server, the older [[https://pecl.php.net/package/memcache|PEAR Memcache library]] and the newer [[https://pecl.php.net/package/memcached|PEAR Memcached library]].
+[[https://memcached.org/|Configuring Memcached]]
-  * Windows support is only available for the older Memcache library.
-  * ADOdb has only been tested against the older library

-===== Description =====
-This section describes connection to an already configured Memcache server. Information about installation and configuration of Memcached servers can be found [[https://memcached.org/|here]].
+[[wp>Memcached]] provides a controlled, server-based memory caching service. The server is reasonably easily configured and installed, but provides a sophisticated caching configuration. PHP support for the library is available through the PHP PEAR //memcache// or //memcached// libraries. If both are available, the //memcache// library will be used.
+Your platform and PHP version will be the primary decision factors between using //memcache// or //memcached//. In general, the following guidelines can be used.
+^ Platform  ^ PHP Version  ^ Library   ^
+| Windows   | 5.x, 7.x     | [[https://pecl.php.net/package/memcache|PEAR Memcache library]] |
+| Unix      | 5.x          | ::: |
+| :::       | 7.x          | [[https://pecl.php.net/package/memcached|PEAR Memcached library]]|
+It's also worth noting that compression is not supported with //memcached//. If you need cache compression, the //memcache// library is recommended.
+For larger environments, distributed Memcache hosts can be specified.
