Given that it seems most of the applications your boss seems to be running are graphics-intensive, the best solution would be to get a video-card. It is true that while on-board video is good for most things, when it comes to graphics, there is a performance hit.
Once factor to consider is how much of the system RAM is being allocated to the on-board video. Boot up the system and go into the BIOS. One of the settings will be how much of the system RAM to allocate to the on-board video. Try increasing that amount, saving the settings, rebooting, then running Photoshop and checking for a performance increase. Many time the amount allocated to on-board video is set to a low amount, so that a lot of system RAM remains free, which seems to impress the customer. Play around with that setting to see what works best.
