A graphics monitor is a display that can show graphics in addition to text. Graphics monitors are used in applications like air traffic control, medical imaging, and CAD. A workstation is a powerful computer optimized for visualization and manipulation of complex data like 3D modeling, simulation, and image rendering. Workstations have specifications like 64MB or more of RAM, high-resolution graphics screens, large displays, and built-in network support. They are used for graphics-intensive applications like 3D design, video editing, and CAD. A server handles data requests from other computers on a network and hosts applications, while a workstation is a personal computer used for graphics applications and intensive programs by professional users.
