Memcache - is it better than file based caching?

I can buy Memcache 256MB for $9/month (512MB is for $13) and I don't know if it's worth it. What would you recommend? Buy it or just leave cache as it is (file based cache)?

Its always going to be superior to file based, and to be honest there are configs where file based may actually be a hindrance. That said, you can get a 1G linode vps for $10 a month and do whatever you wanted, so those prices seem a bit high to me.

Where are you renting this service from? That is stupid high. I am guessing a shared host?

yeah, shared host, but it's only $50/year with unlimited HDD and transfer, don't need anything better at this moment.
