$320/month for DO VPS could be too high...
You could find (unmanaged) server with 32GB of ram for about $200...
Don't know the costs of running something like that on Amazon...

As for high-traffic optimization - you could also try out Varnish (instead of MemCache).
Varnish and Memcache are two completely different things. IF anything, he should be using both of them, together, rather than one or the other.
