That's not the CentOS version, that's the version of gcc that compiled
the kernel.

What do you want to know about it, and more to the point what do you
actually want to do as there may be other solutions you haven't thought
of that may be better.

For example, I started out using memcached on a project more as a play
around with it then anything serious and I ended up just using shared
memory since it's less points of failure and what not.

The other option is a virtual server, I found out about serveraxis from
this list, and while they've put their prices up for new hostings they
still offer best bang for buck imho, and it's a lot more economical then
having to rent an entire server etc.
