angeblich 1981. Bill Gates dementiert z.B. in www.usnews.com http://www.usnews.com/usnews/biztech/gatesivu.htm ( Archive.org https://web.archive.org/web/20120210185846/http://www.usnews.com/usnews/biztech/gatesivu.htm)
Original engl.: "640 kB ought to be enough for anybody."
Fälschlich zugeschrieben
[640K] 640 K ought to be enough for anybody.
Often attributed to Gates in 1981. Gates considered the IBM PC's 640 KB program memory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conventional_memory#640_KB_barrier a significant breakthrough over 8-bit systems that were typically limited to 64 KB, but he has denied making this remark. Also see the 1989 and 1993 remarks above.
: I've said some stupid things and some wrong things, but not that. No one involved in computers would ever say that a certain amount of memory is enough for all time … I keep bumping into that silly quotation attributed to me that says 640 K of memory is enough. There's never a citation; the quotation just floats like a rumor, repeated again and again.

: Do you realize the pain the industry went through while the IBM PC was limited to 640 K? The machine was going to be 512 K at one point, and we kept pushing it up. I never said that statement — I said the opposite of that.
