How Many pairs of speakers could be supported by the Computer?
If I have connected (In parallel) 0ne or two pairs of speakers more( 4 Ohms) can being overloaded?. How much Omhs (minimun) can be supported by my Computer? (HP pavilion 350n).
The Rule to avoid “Overload” through speakers is applicable in computers also?
Thanks in advance:)

What you are asking about refers to the impedance load placed upon an amplifier. Your computer isn't amplifying the speakers - something else is. You would either be using powered speakers (with built-in amplifiers, either in the speakers themselves or probably in the subwoofer unit) or an external amplifier/receiver.

So, no - you won't overload your computer. You certainly could overload whatever external amplifier you are using, though.

Thanks Adams..So on My case I have hooked labtec pulse 475 speakers(pic below) and you said if I add more speakers May I overload the subwoofer amplification?
On My set up I have not to pass under 4 Ohms?
Another recomendation for hook more speakers to My PC?
Thanks again:)

That's not a "speaker". That's a speaker "system" with a built-in amplifier.

Got that? Good.

you can CHANGE your speaker system ... but you CANNOT add speakers to your system.
