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.

Differences between serial and parallel interfaces?

The difference is that serial transmissions only use 2 wires for transmitting and receiving data, and only 1 for sending or receiving, and can only send one bit at a time. Parallel cables use several wires for data transmission and is much faster than serial thus 8 or more wires are carrying data *parallel* to each other to it's destination. serial data data (8 bits) transmit -----------010101010-----------------> single line to transmit on receive <--------------------------- single line to receive on Parallel data (80 bits) transmit multiple lines simultaneously ---- 010101001-----------> -----------010101010-----------> -----------010101010-----------> -----------010101001-----------> -----------010101010-----------> -----------010101010-----------> -----------010101001-----------> -----------010101010-----------> -----------010101010-----------> -----------010101001----------->


How parallel processing affects the speed of computer processing?

Parallel processing allows the computer to process 2 things at once. However on it's own it doesn't help, computer programs have to be written to use it. Many operating systems are written to take advantage of parallel processing between seperate processes, and some programs are setup to use parallel processing withing their own process.
