to everyone having problems installing memcache for wamp here's how it worked for me.

1. make sure you check you're phpinfo and look for "Compiler" mine shows MSVC9 (Visual C++ 2008) this is so you know if you download the dll for vc9 or vc6. also look for "Thread Safety" on phpinfo it shows enabled then you need to download the dll file that contains TS if disabled then you download the dll with the words NTS.

below is where you can find the dll's for the diffent php versions make sure the version you download matches you're version:

Make sure also you have 32 bit or 64 bit and you download it correctly

then extract the files into your windows/system32 if you're windows is 32 bit or the system folder for 64 bit on you're windows.

Also extract to you're wamp/bin/apache/bin and wamp/bin/you're_php_version/ext and also memcache.exe extract to this folder make sure you use memcached for 32 or 64 bit according to you're system.

Once you finish this then you run the you're windows command prompt as administrator then browse to the location of you're executable memcache and do the following:

step 1: memcache.exe -d install step 2: memcache.exe -d start

then on you're wampserver open the tray menu and go to the php menu and click php.ini make sure you add on you're extensions in case not listed there: extension=php_memcache.dll

restart you're wampserver and go to you're phpinfo and look for memcache if you see it then it's installed.

hope it helps

happy new year to all!
