Changing the CPU is not that hard, you will find the complete tear down service manuals on Dells site in the support section
get some good thermal compound for the new CPU AS5 is one option, -
Here is a video of how to change out your processor. Watch the vid before deciding on changing your CPU:

EDIT: That seller is FAST. The sale info says to expect at least a business week for shipping... but FedEx had it to my doorstep in under 48 hours. It literally was picked up from the seller in a matter of hours and made it to Atlanta from Taiwan in one day. I wasn't even remotely expecting it yet so wasn't home to sign for it... so I get to wait until Monday for FedEx to come back
