29437 2002-01-01 09:09:00 Would someone please be able to tell me the difference between a Desktop computer and a Workstation. We are looking around at buying a new computer to run Autocad.
Many thanks

the terms are often interchanged. Desktop frequently refers to the shape of the case, and workstation refers to the role of the computer (eg server/workstation). 'Workstation' usually implies a high spec computer.

It will be well worth buying a larger monitor with a high refresh rate for a computer in that role, so don't skimp on that component.
