    Don't get the first one - it's an Engineering Sample CPU. ES processors aren't the final version, and thus may have stability issues.
    The second one is preferable.

    Oh snaps, it IS an ES CPU!
    The nerve of this yutz. He's been selling ES CPUs and MXM cards for ages.

    I would say that it is too risky to use ES CPU on your working computer.
