Yeah I have a feeling you're confusing some things.
Monitor refresh rate -- only really matters on CRT displays, causes flickering of the monitor when it's too low. LCD's aren't affected by this.
Fast as it can actually refers to things that use the GPU. Flash video is not one of those things. It is your processor that does all of the work unless you have a card that can assist with GPU acceleration. Even then, you're cpu bound. Your GPU is still effectively displaying 2D content so its not going to be very stressed, therefore your stuttering is because of something else.
That lousy adapter is just the default windows one. On Windows Vista its actually relatively powerful ( No Aero, but it can easily drive a 1680x1050 resolution with no slowdown unlike the XP one)
