    I am building a new PC.

    A nice devils canyon i7 and 16GB memory :thumbsup:

    Do I need to deregister anything, or can I install the software on 2 different computers?

    Also, will an internal PCI soundcard (Asus Xonar DSX 7.1) with ASIO support drivers be able to run windows sound and maschine sound simultaneously?

    (ASIO4ALL was one or the other)

    As far as i know no need for deregister anything. I have all products on my Laptop and on the Desktop Machine.
    Regarding the soundcard, should be possible. Your audio software uses the ASIO driver and the windows sound uses the other drivers (wdma or so etc.)

    you can install Maschine on two computers, providing that you only use one at a time.. If however, you dont plan on using the older computer, its probably a good idea to deregister it.
    regarding audio... you wont ever get great latency figures from asio4all or great performance from a built in card, so If you are going to the trouble of a new setup, it would make sense on so many levels to invest in a decent soundcard.. The KA6 has been solid enough on one of my machines for several years... 4 in, 4 out plus spdif in/out

    I used to have an Asus Xonar DX on one of my computers running with ASIO4 all and the Asus drivers. Sound quality is surprisingly good (better than some more expensive audio interfaces) and latency with ASIO4all is acceptable (not so good with the Asus drivers), probably the equal of many low end external audio interfaces.

    If you do not yet know what you want from an audio interface (phantom power, good mic pres, lots of inputs/ outputs, very low latency, digital mixing etc.) it is a good low cost starting point. At a later stage you will be in a better position to purchase an audio interface that suits your exact requirements.
