Heck, in the days before PCs, minicomputers, using a multi user environment were running 128 k words (256 KB) of RAM. And in the days of core memory (actual physical magnets rings for each bit) 8K was a large amount of memory.
IIRC first IBM PCs shipped with 32K of RAM, later raised to 64K. Even the PC AT only came with 128K from the factory.
