Work Stations

Some where between multi user midrange computers and personal computers are workstations. work stations are specialized , single user computers with many of the features of  a personal  computer but with the processing power of a mini computer. These powerful machines are popular among scientists, engineers, graphic artists, animations and programmers. users who need a great deal of number crunching power. Workstations typically use advanced processors and feature more RAM and storage capacity than personal computers. Work stations often have large , high - resolution monitors and accelerated graphics - handling  capabilities , making them perfect for advanced design, modeling, animation and video editing. Although workstations are often found in single - user applications, they are more and more often used as servers on personal computers networks and as web servers.

Until a few years ago, the term workstation implied certain differences in terms of chip design and operating system, making it distinct from a personal  computers. Today, the differences between minicomputers, workstations and personal computers are becoming blurred. Low end minicomputers and high end workstations are now similar in features and capabilities. the same is true for low end workstations and high end personal computers.
