What are Workstation Computers?

Workstation Computers are somewhat loosely defined of a phrase. A workstation can be a computer connected to a network of other computers. However, workstation more properly defines a computer that is setup in an office or scientific facility. These workstation computers have more higher end components used to perform the everyday tasks specialized in that facility. For example, in the office, you may have a high end workstation used to do AutoCAD and civil engineering. Low end computers may not have the performance to keep up at a realistic pace than one that has better performance. In a workstation computer setup you may see multiple monitors connected together to increase the screen area that one has to work with.
