To reduced confusion I have this board ( as google likes to show newer boards, I don't want people think I have this other one)

Someone linked me this..

but I have no clue what a x99 taichi is. Or if ithe m.2 compatibility is the same as the x99 fata1ty professional. I mean heck I cant even find out in the documentations if the port I have is a m.2 M or B slot... ( I mean seriously? ) I am guessing it is a ...  M key as it runs off the PCIE lanes and apparent orientation..

I also see this http://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3669&title=samsung-960-pro-support
But we have already covered I cannot figure out the differences between the x99 line.

Thanks for the help! This PC has been down 3 months due to my recient move. I am looking forward to having it working again!
