... it's just that the remaining 384k was reserved. That's where "high memory" and "upper memory blocks" came in. They were the reserved space that didn't end up being used for ROM, memory-mapped I/O buffers, and the like and, thus, space outside the normal 640k that could still be addressed directly in real mode.
On the DEC Rainbow you can have around 900 kB memory.
