+## Disabling CAS Support
+
+By default, the client uses `gets` commands to support CAS (Compare-And-Swap) operations.
+If your memcached setup does not support CAS or you want to disable it (e.g., for performance or compatibility),
+you can set the `DisableCAS` field on the client:
+
+```go
+mc := memcache.New("127.0.0.1:11211")
+mc.DisableCAS = true
+```
+
+When `DisableCAS` is enabled:
+- The client will use `get` instead of `gets` when fetching items.
+- CAS-based methods (like `CompareAndSwap`) will either be no-ops or fall back to simpler operations (e.g., `Set`).
+
