I am new to the Hardware world, and am taking a class on 
Computer Architecture, I have to write a paper on parallel
processing. I think I understand the basics of what parallel 
processing and Pipeline processing are, but my question is:

Which computers use which types of processing?

Intel Systems, PowerPC Systems , Unix Systems, IBM Mainframes?

If these sytems dont support parallel processing then what do they do?

any help appreciated!
thanks
