Alienware M11X

So i went to the UK for one year to complete my studies.
Whilst there i was looking online for a nice mobile gaming rig and everywhere i read M11X cropped up.
Got the m11x because its "ALIENWARE YO!" and cuz of some nice reviews i read about it.

2 problems cropped up.

ONE.
1.3mhz core 2 duo processor (ULV)
absolutely bottlecapping my rig. i did not realise at the time how important processing power really is.
although the battery life is fantastic (6 hours surfing, 2 gaming)
is there anyway. to increase processing power, without toasting the laptop.
or prudently overclocking it.

TWO.
Hinges.
It became a well known design flaw, after i received the damn thing.
The hinges upon which the keyboard and the screen rest upon, produce this cracking sound.

Warranty is out of the question, is there anyway i can get it fixed by someone, preferably not so expensively.
I would suppose this type of mechanical problem is not faced by the "computer shop people" normally.

Advice greatly appreciated.
