Funny place to suddenly appear and ask such a question but I'd say the second one.

Whatever system lets you watch porn more fluidly is the one I'd pick.

I've heard this from people I know.

You bought a new computer? Just by deleting the System32 you can make your old computer just like new.

Assuming you don't actually have such a ridiculously powerful processor and mean MHz, your old computer had one twice as powerful. You didn't mention how much RAM they have, either, and the amount of free disk space would also affect how well something runs.

Also, it's not just the power of the components that determines whether you can run something. Some software is just incompatible with some hardware.

No one can spell good with drunken English.

i used dxdiag to find that,so it's not my fault that it says it.
