Yes. I experienced this myself.

You can set it to 512, but FE will use maximum of 64k. Check out help topic on
message buffer size.
=== Starting Windows Clipboard ===
It's recommended to use a buffer as large as possible
(DOS: max. 64kB, OS/2: max. 512kB), and only to make it
smaller if your computer is short on memory.
=== End of Windows Clipboard ===
FeSetup program is universal for all versions and doesn't check on which OS it
is running. That's why you can set 512k for DOS version.
