Does either affect the way graphics display? I've noticed that DH's 2009 64 bit machine does not have near the issues with video (or those annoying fast speed ads trying to get attention) that I do. My computer hangs and freezes while waiting for graphics or ads to come up. If the ad's are active... motion.. scrolling can be choppy and jerky.
Not inherently. It may be that his machine has a discrete graphics adapter (a separate card just for graphics) which produces better performance or it has more memory which would allow an integrated graphics controller (one that's built into the CPU itself) to perform better because it has more memory to work with.
P.S. Sounds like you should looking into ad blocking extensions like AdBlock Plus to cut down on those annoyances.
