Yes It Can
Multiple serial, gaming, USB, and parallel ports can be established with an I/O controller card. A controller card works as an interface between the motherboard and various components on a computer.
Peripheral ports such as COM, USB and serial ports, are input/output interfaces that allow devices to connect to a computer. Expansion slots are sockets on the motherboard where an expansion card is inserted.
Most computers have several ports, which may or may not be enabled. There are two serial, or 'com' ports, which transfer data to and from the Central Processor Unit a single bit at a time, and one parallel, or printer port, which transfers data eight bits at a time. Most modern computers have at least two Universal Serial Bus ports, which are a high speed port for operating modern peripheral devices, such as scanners, printers, external drives, and such.
VGA ports are 15-pin female display ports that are generally blue. These are found on the back of PC's (near USB ports or further away on a video card) and on display devices such as monitors/TVs. A quick image search will show you exactly what to look for.
Yes, but your computer may need a memory card to USB converter (56 ports for $12.99, add the tax for your state).

Lots of ports aren't found on sound cards. Examples include Ethernet, RJ-11 (telephone), USB, FireWire, USB, and typically serial or parallel ports.
That depends on how many are installed. One used to be standard on the motherboard. Some modern PCs have deleted that port since USB is much easier to use. If your machine has PCI or other expansion card sockets you can buy parallel port expansion cards and add several. It is also possible to add parallel ports using USB to parallel port adapters.How many do you want?
Most modern laptops lack any sort of "legacy" ports such as serial ports, let alone them having two. Some older laptops did have multiple serial ports, but there's little point in recommending one because there's no guarantee you could find one. There are options for adding serial ports to a laptop, such as a USB to serial adapter, or a PC card with additional serial ports.

if the Dell computer has USB ports, then all you would need is the USB-iPod cable and download/install iTunes. If you system is really old and only have serial ports (9-pin male ports) and no USB ports, then you would need to get a PCI USB card installed into your system. Do not use Serial-USB adapters, as they do not always work.
Common ports provided by most motherboards are as follows. Serial port (RS-232) Ethernet Port (Network interface) Parallel port. (Not nearly as common any longer) PS/2 Port (Mice and Keyboards) USB Ports (Covers most everything these days) Firewire port (IEEE1394, mostly used for video these days) eSATA Port (External Hard drive or device interface). There are others, but those are your most common ports on standard desktop motherboards. Servers are another story.
It depends on the type of ports needed. If you need more USB sockets, you can simply plug a USB hub into a USB socket. However, if you need other types of ports (like display ports, network ports, 9 or 25-pin serial ports, SATA sockets etc)., or you don't want to use a USB hub, then you would have to install an expansion card.
