I am running Oracle 8.1.7 on a single server using NT.

Whenever I see the word "Paralell" in some Oracle
option, I always assume this is for a multi-CPU or
multi-server environment. Is this true?

"Parallel query"
/*+ PARALLEL */ Hint
Parallel Server
etc.

Advice was given to make a table "parallel query"
if the enqueue deadlocks was too high. Since I don't
have multiple CPUs, I can't do this right?
