Meathead - Workstation as defined by Dell I'm only going to respond to this one last time for the sake of clarity. According to Dane -Dell Sales Representative Ext. 64649 1-800-917-3355 A workstation (Generic Definition) is defined by it's position in the Network. Dell (proprietary definition) ie. what they want to sell you is a workstation with a dual Pentium II with a 3D video card. Now you could place a 286 as a workstation. You could place a dual Pentium II in the server position. If you had a dual Pentium II, not attached to the network would it still be a workstation? No, it's a stand alone. In 1991, IBM sold one of my customers 10 "486 Diskless Workstations" and one "486 Server". It just depends on how fast or how much your willing to spend. And of course what the technology is at the time (No dual Pentium in 1991). Now if you don't do CAD's and only do accounting in your workgroup (Network), does this mean your not really on a workstation because you might not have a highend 3D video card? It's much simpler than you guys are making out to be. Cheers
