There are many people who remember everything they have done, read, or experienced: those born with the hyperthymesia disorder. They'll remember every meal they've eaten, and the day they ate it, among other things.

There must be a limit to human memory, but we haven't found it yet.

Memories are highly compressed, anyways. So remembering all conversations and experiences probably requires fewer neurons than you'd expect.
