1. second one will easily dominate the first in gaming
2. I would say the XPS M1730 because you have dual Geforce video cards. When getting a laptop for gaming just remember it is usually not possible to upgrade the video card because they are usually integrated into the motherboard so it is the most important component. (ram can be added later usually).
3. The second one by far. The first one has a better CPU, but the second one's isn't bad. The first one's RAM is junk. 1066Mhz DDR3 is awful. Now, the most important part in the 1st one, the GPU, is trash. The second one is far better, as Crysis capable better. It even has a PhysX card, a feature more and more games are using.
4. 2nd Computer.. Graphics are essential for gaming.
