一般大型网站memory_limit用默认的128M都完全没问题，你的要5G？是要一次性处理几个G的POST数据吗？那肯定是你的程序有问题，一般情况下不需要这么大内存占用的。

以下是我个人看法，未经测试，权当参考：尽管你的系统是64位的，但你的PHP是32位的，因此最大的内存寻址范围也就是2G，再加上PHP本身的占用，实际可供分配的就是1G了。
因此我认为你目前的重点不是如何扩大PHP的内存限定，而是要优化你的脚本代码。
在网上翻阅资料的时候会看到有人说一个php-cgi进程大约占用系统内存20M，但是php-cgi占用内存其实是与你的php.ini配置加载多少个.so(.dll)模块相关的，我们在linux系统下查看，可以用pman的命令：
pmap $(pgrep php-cgi | head -1)

可以看到我的一个php-cgi占用了大约28M
这个看情况了，处理大数据肯定需要的内存更大，只是本地调试肯定用不了多少。
php.ini的内存限制默认为memory_limit = 128M，只要把memory_limit设为-1，就不会限制你跑cli脚本时的内存限制。
一般作为一台专门运行php的服务器，肯定要尽可能的把内存给于php运行，一台不够就追加。
