The hardware itself won't slow down - the issue that the OP and your brother are likely seeing is software related. But both computers are relatively slow by today's standards, and would likely benefit from a hardware upgrade. And while Dell often uses proprietary components, there is usually a fair amount of upgrades that can be done to make improvements.
