If you mean that his system only has 4 GB vs the other systems having 8 GB of RAM, having more RAM is beneficial. A minimum amount for gaming that you should be aiming for is 8 GB. Games already have their minimum and recommend system specs and while that is a guideline, depending on what other applications you have running in the background, that will also affect your system RAM and CPU usage. Having more RAM will help with that.

Also, you are noting fps only in this question. Do you know what resolution and graphics settings that the youtuber is playing the game at? Maybe your friends system is playing at medium and 1080p, while the youtuber is playing at low and 720p...that will yield a huge difference in fps. Factoring in the...

Factoring in the youtuber having twice the RAM, and that would probably explain it. Of course, you also have to consider the youtuber might be using a SSD or faster HDD. Or the RAM might be a higher speed and lower latency version. The youtube might have overclocked the CPU or GPU too.

There are a lot of factors to consider and unless you know for sure you have the exact same system and using the exact same settings, then having a different fps really does not matter for comparison.
