There was never such a thing as a *hardware* 640k limit. The limit was 1 MByte, imposed by the 8088 CPU only having 20 address lines. This was arbitrarily split into 640k and "the rest" by MS-DOS (640k for OS and applications, "the rest" for memory-mapped I/O like screen output).
The problem was *how* MS-DOS implemented this split, making it impossible to change this implementation without breaking downward compatibility - to the point of even the PIV still supporting the A20 gate hack...

As I said, the hardware was never the real problem.

Sorry, but even if we would very much like it otherwise, the Win9x multitasking *is* preemptive. (The fact that it´s so horribly done is because they didn´t redesign the GUI messaging from scratch, dragging a lot of Win3.11 legacy with them.)
MacOS 9 is the last OS I know of having cooperative multitasking.
