    nope, d901c's connector is mxm2.1, gtx285m is mxm3.0........so u wont be able to install it
    mxm2.1 gtx280m is the highest option, or u can get a pair of 9800m gtx, and solder gtx285m's core n11e-gtx1-b1 on it(better than 280m's g92-761-b1)

    good luck. 8800gtx/9800gt/9800gtx are like gold dust and very rare to find now.

    keep an eye on the NBR Marketplace as they can pop up now and again.

    also you have to remember these cards are 4 years old now and with the amount that died over the years you could end up buying a oven baked card that might only last a few months.
