Just in case, does your machine looks like this? (It´s an image of the SE 15R).

Don´t worry. 
I have good news for you, though: the chipset that brings the 17R (Mobile Intel HM77 Express Chipset) allows you to unlock any Intel Core CPU multiplier, allowing you to overclock the processor; and by this, you will be able to improve your performance.

How difficult is overclocking?
I've briefly read about it in the past, but never really had a reason to try and do it. Also, how easy it to cause damage by doing it?
