Q Difference between Mini-computers and multiprocessor PCs

S

SlickRCBD

I was just having a discussion about a setup I saw at my former college.
What's the difference between a high end, duel processor system running
Windows 2003 server with Remote Access Desktop and a minicomputer?

I thought the main distinction was the multiple processors, so what's
the difference between such a duel-processor system and a mini? I'm
curious, as my knowldge of terminology is getting a bit out of date.
