Go for the 2nd one and put linux on it. As is said windows 11 won't run
properly on either

What exact CPUs do they have?
Most computers that support 4 or more GiB RAM have an amd64 capable
processor that is necessary for Windows 11.

I cant imagine why anybody would shell out on any machine without SSD
storage these days - and I would question the value of 6GB of ram on a
32 bit machine

Avoid both of them.

The info there can't be correct. If the CPU is x86 only, Windows 11
couldn't be installed.

'32 bit 400MHz bus' suggests they are very old. Likewise a 32 bit CPU.
Probably a Pentium 4, dating from 2000-2005. So I would go for 'neither'.
Anyone selling these and claiming they will run Windows 11 is a scammer.

I would look for something with minimum an Intel Core i3, i5 or i7 processor
- the ~10 year old versions are pretty cheap used these days.

For example, before Christmas I bought on ebay a Dell Latitude 3590 laptop
with an i5-8250U CPU (from 2017) 128GB SSD and 8GB RAM, for £100. Approved
for Windows 11 and runs it just fine.
