See meg there is no actual proof Gates actually even said that BUT its just mostly quoted and common mistake people who are computer illiterate makes.
Now during the time when comment allegedly took place was during the 80's where IBM just replaced its unit with 640KB memory limit. As most initial PC were based on 8088 which was 8/16bit processor thus memory limit was 640KB. Now keep in mind Bill Gates himself denied ever making that comment as we know in late 90s. So even if he was defending IBM 3 decades ago on its standard then again it all worked out as he was hit in the face with pie. But anyways just like the comment that Al Gore invented THE internet people always misquote this also.
