Server vs. high end desktop

by ralph_gci . Updated 25 years, 11 months ago

Can anyone give a relative novice a concise explanation of what makes a Server a Server, as opposed to a high end PC? Why is a machine billed as a Server so much more expensive than what looks on paper like a similarly outfitted desktop, and why would I spend the additional money for a server in a network with 100 workstations and 4 other PCs acting as servers? Thanks.
