Changing Boot.ini won’t help Photoshop run faster, check the FAQ for techniques to speed up Photoshop.

You could, however, use MSCONFIG to get rid of programs that turn on at startup and you don’t really need running all the time. Lots of devices, programs, and such start themselves when you start the computer even though you only need them when you want to use them.

To Set the /3GB Startup Switch in Windows

Right-click My Computer and select Properties. The System Properties dialog box will appear.

2.
Click the Advanced tab.

3.
In the Startup and Recovery area, click Settings. The Startup and Recovery dialog box will appear.

4.
In the System startup area, click Edit. This will open the Windows boot.ini file in Notepad.

5.
In the [Operating Systems] section, add the following switches to the end of the startup line that includes the /fastdetect switch: /3GB

6.
Save the changes and close Notepad.

7.
Click OK two times to close the open dialog boxes, and then restart the computer for the change to take effect.
