I'm pretty sure he never said that. And there were versions of MS-DOS
that had higher limits, it was nearly 800k on the DEC Rainbow, another
8086 based PC. It was the "ibm hardware standard" that lead to the 640k
number, the IBM engineers put hardware IO buffers, etc. at that point.

A month or two ago, my daughter installed over 700 gig of ram in some
servers.
