The quote is a lie.

He never said that

Couple things:
1) He never said that
2) The myth is 640k, not 64k
3) At the time, it was enough for everybody…

I remember when 64k of RAM was the most amazing thing ever.

FAIL! FAIL! FAIL!
It was the head of Intel that said something to that effect, and it was Intel that set the limit of 1024k (which was further limited by system overhead). I’m not defending Bill Gates, just pointing out how major this fail is.
