Error trying to use memcache is with php 5.5?

Question

I am trying to use memcached with php 5.5, is it possible?

I have downloaded php_memcache.dll and put it inside the php/ext/ folder and also added a new line of code in side php.ini extension=php_memcache.dll. But still it is not working.

When I try to call $memcache = new Memcache; the following occurs.

Fatal error: Class 'Memcache' not found in C:\xampp\htdocs\rnd\memcache\index.php on line

You can try creating an php_info page to check if the module is loaded.

info.php

<?php phpinfo();?>

I'm using PHP 5.5.9 and memcache works fine. Note that i'm using a *nix machine though.
