Actually, the minimum configuration was 16K, and could be expanded to 64K
on the motherboard. 4K DRAMs were not supported.

They also offered expansion cards for bus slots; IIRC IBM only offered the
expansion cards with a full complement of 64K.

Motherboards and expansion cards using the new and amazing 64K DRAMs came
later.
