I would not buy either of these computers under any circumstances.
The first one is a complete hunk of junk. Yeah, it was the hottest of the hot back in 2002 when the first CPUs broke 3GHz. Now, a $100 CPU will beat both of those CPUs combined, and it will use less than 1/4 the electricity. (The design uses a shared FSB which causes the CPUs to be starved for inter-CPU bandwidth. Also, HT had severe flaws causing performance loss due to livelock.)
The second one has a Pentium D. Honestly, it's also not worth the cost to run it. The Pentium D was Intel's desperate attempt to get a dual-core CPU out before AMD. It's basically two Pentium 4's in the same package. They hacked in 64-bit extensions. Nothing was done right on that CPU and Intel wisely abandoned NetBurst right after it. That is, this was Intel's last attempt to get an already-obsolete design to give them one last product.
Also, the seller seems deceptive and deliberately confusing to me. For example, the seller says "Dual Core 3.0=6.0GHz" which is complete and utter nonsense. Two cars going 50 miles per hour does not "equal 100 miles per hour". Either the seller is an idiot who doesn't understand this (in which case, why would I want a computer he made hardware changes to?) or the seller is trying to deceive people into thinking these machines are faster than they are.
You can get brand new computers with modern CPUs such as the Core 2 Duo (which run rings around these ancient CPU lines) for nearly the same price at your local discount electronics store or national chain. And you'd be able to upgrade those computers since they'll have low-end components for their sockets/architecture.
How will you add a GPU to these? Do you know what wattage power supplies they have? Do they have PCI-E slots?

Are you itemizing 2 diverse desktops? you have 2 of a few areas... in any case, the pictures card is unquestionably a respectable one for gaming, and all the different aspects are additionally ok based on the constrained information you published. 2 gb of ram is incredibly plenty the minimum for a exceptional gaming laptop, and you didnt checklist any information on the annoying tension yet there are numerous components besides the annoying drives length that impression how nicely a pc performs. All different beneficial components like 'outfitted in intense velocity internet', 'fifty six.6 modem', '10/a hundred NIC, 3 FireWire Ports' are all incredibly general beneficial components on any pc and have no longer something to do with gaming. additionally, you listed 2 working structures.... which one is it? i myself would be hesitant approximately laying down a grand for this, yet it relies on the reality which you listed some ineffective information and what sounds like information for 2 desktops.
