    I'm looking to either add another 8800M GTX to my D901C OR replace with the a better single GPU. Where can I find what my upper-limit GPU is? And, where can I purchase the GPU I need?

    What do you mean by after market GPUs? Do you mean GPUs made in china?

    you can get a 9800m gt and you can bios flash your 8800m gtx if someone is willing to give you there bios file and then you can have sli.

    The upper limit for the D90xC is the 9800M GTX (SLI) although the GTX280M may work (afaik no one has tested it, but it is definitely not officially supported)

    I thought he was going to test sli in the d900c, but didn't test anything as there was no sli connector

    Correct, he didn't even bother to open it when he confirmed the lack of an SLI connector.
