Yes they did but look at the numbers.  The first IBM PC (with PC1 MB) had a 16K
RAM base which was already 2.5% of the 640K architected max.  Even that board
which was soon replaced with one that held 4 times as much, could hold 10% of 
the
max.   Now doesn't it seem that the claim that 'nobody would need more than 
640K'
when the system base was already 2.5% was a little weak?

Contrast that with the 64 bit number: 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 of which the
AS/400's current MAXIMUM DASD (Not memory) is a mere 0.0000216%!! That's a 
pretty
significant difference I'd think!
