Technical Workstation - PC

Notice: Most individuals computing needs can be accommodated with the Standard Workstation models. The Technical workstations are best suited for complex mathematical computations, and/or high end applications such as AutoCAD, and applications with large memory (RAM) needs.
Potential downside: You will need to install 64-bit versions of device drivers such as printers, scanners, etc. Not all devices have 64-bit drivers available at this time. While most 32-bit applications will work, it is recommended that 64-bit versions be installed if available. Check with software publishers for application specific details.
