If you will go to Dell/Alienware's site/shop you will find there information that the CPU in this particular version of M11X is "Overclockable". What it does is basically makes your CPU work at higher frequency, improving the overall performance of all your programs/games. If you will go to BIOS settings in your M11X (press "F2" key during boot-up time to get there) you will indeed see the "Overclocked" option (which is disabled by default). Unfortunately it seems that it is highly possible that this advertised feature will not work (it didn't for me, as well as for many other people, you can read all about it on a certain well-known notebook-related forum) - if you will enable "Overclock" in BIOS, your M11X might simply crash during boot-up or after any random period of time. As of right now there's no official "fix" for this issue by Alienware/Dell, the only way you can solve it (if you're happened to have this issue) is to play an "exchange lottery" with Dell/Alienware. It really is disappointing that Alienware/Dell actually advertised this feature and made it available in every M11X (every user can easily switch it on) yet it doesn't seem they actually tested any M11X with this feature enabled before shipping them to customers...Get more detail about Alienware AM11X-2894CSB 11.6-Inch Laptop (Cosmic Black).
