About Computer Workstations

Computer workstations are client computers that connect to a network and share data with other machines. They are used in applications such as computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), graphic design, software development, medical imaging, and point of sale (POS) systems. Unlike terminals or dumb terminals, computer workstations can include a hard drive and installed applications so that they can be used independently of a server. In terms of computing power, low-end workstations are equivalent to high-end personal computers (PCs) while high-end workstations are equivalent to minicomputers. Computer workstations are available with a variety of operating systems and processors. They provide random access memory (RAM) with separate internal and external caches and may even include Flash memory, a type of RAM that can retain information when the computer is powered off.
