A PC is usually a self contained system, that includes all components and peripherals.

A work station may not, necessarily, have all of the components located in one physical space.
As part of a network the work staion may connect to a server to access databases, printers, etc.

Workstations used high power RISC CPUs which were not compatible with the Intel x86 CPUs used in PCs.

I'll offer that these criteria generally make a PC into a workstation:
1) dual (or more) head
2) SCSI
3) Dual (or more) processor
4) Running a server OS (Win2k Server, Linux, SunOS, etc)

These criteria generally make a PC a PC:
1) Single IDE drive (often with a single volume)
2) Celeron processor
3) 17" (or smaller!) monitor
4) Any manager with no IT background calls it a "workstation"
