Where did he state that?

Suppose meant was that without the IBM PC (and thus MS-DOS) the x86 might
just had been a footnote in today's computer history. We might all use
the Motorola M70000 or the Zilog 64-bit line of microprocessors today.

Anyway, Gates said it the same day he invented the internet and
mentioned, that no one would ever need more than 640 KB of computer
memory.
