Citation needed. Who said no one will ever need more than 4 GB of RAM?

Somebody may have said "More than 4 GB will not be needed for a long time, and it is not economical to support it now" when 32-bit PCs emerged in the 1980s.

Fair comment. I guess nobody really said that no one would ever need to use more then 4GB, it was genuinely just a technology goal point for the entire industry.
