the mystery of querying

if i know (or remember) more from my database class, i may have an answer for this. i was just coding my new board and was curious about which of the following query is faster:

SELECT m.regdate, m2.postnum FROM dmb_members m, dmb_members_post m2 WHERE m.uid=m2.uid AND m.uid = '".$userid."' LIMIT 1

or

SELECT m.regdate, m2.postnum FROM dmb_members m, dmb_members_post m2 WHERE m2.uid = '".$userid."' AND m.uid = '".$userid."' LIMIT 1

m.uid is a primary index while m2.uid is an index. what would be your guess?
