I have a computer with an Asus Z97 AR motherboard and a intel i7 4770k and a Ausu GeForce 750ti video card. the Asus motherboard has a M.2 pcie slot that runs only on two lanes. my question is can I add a pcie card installed in the regular pcie slot( I have seen one on Amazon that has 4 pcie lanes) and get 4 lanes with a Samsung xp 451 ( has 4 lanes) will I have enough lanes to do this I have two hard drives now , one Samsung evo and a regular hard drive I would replace the evo with the xp451 ssd m.2. also do you know if the samsung magian software will work on the samsung xp 451 ssd?

Yes, you can. You can buy the 4 lanes M2 slot pcie add on card and you install it into the regular pcie slot, it will run at x4 mode. Like this one "M2 PCIe SSD - PCIe 3.0 4-Lane adapter" http://addonics.com/products/adm2px4.php
And I found the review from TweakTown.com http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/6422/addonics-adm2px4-pcie-3-0-to-m-2-ssd-adapter-review/index.html
And do you mean your M2 ssd is the XP941? Also because the i7 4770k only can support 16 lanes, http://ark.intel.com/products/75123/Intel-Core-i7-4770K-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-3_90-GHz if you use the m2 ssd with the adapter and 2x GPU at the same time, and the GPUs will run at x8/x4.
