Strictly speaking, no, red things do not go faster.  Light travels at the same speed regardless of wavelength (3x10^8 m/s), so it doesn't matter what colour your graphics card is.

Green has a shorter wavelength then red meaning it has a higher frequency.

You don't want to start this... light travels at a constant speed regardless of frequency in the same medium.   

Red and green have different wavelengths (frequencies) and therefore different energies.  Green light does have a higher energy than red, but they still travel at the same speed.  

This thread is about speed, and they both travel at the same speed.

Confusion arises because of the incorrect usage of the term "speed".  In the computer world, we refer to a computer's "speed" when we are actually making reference to its frequency.  They are not necessarily the same thing.  

Usage of the term "fast" or "faster" implies speed, hence, red and green travel at the same speed.

Red and Green, the colors of fury and envy. None is better than the other but to choose between both is to test one's character in the sea of uncertainty.

 

Follow your needs but not your urges, one will lead you to the path of solitude the other will only inherit your soul with the burdens of regret.

To search for ones identity in the sea of knowledge is to know their backbone.

I didn't say anything about speed, just frequency ;)
