Workstation Buying Options

Which do you choose?  Before you start selecting, think about your application and its needs, think about your users, and think about the environment your system will be performing in.  Then consider:

• A desktop computer is an independent personal computer that is made especially for use on a desk in an office or home. Desktop PCs are currently the most common computers, and are best suited to users running fairly standard applications.
• A workstation is essentially a desktop computer, but with higher performance capability than most desktop PCs. Workstations are primarily used by one person at a time, but other users can remotely connect to a workstation when necessary. Workstations tend to be better suited to users running intense applications that require greater graphics capability, processing power and multitasking ability.
