What are you referring to when you say "buffer cache"? In order to
increase your system memory you need to add/upgrade the existing RAM on your
computer.

What I am looking for is an intermediary host adaptor for cacheing the data.
This host adaptor holds data for communicating with CPU and other periferals
faster than the actual Hard Disk. Therefore, this will be as if another hard
disk without any moving parts; holding the data already in the hard disk
temporarely in order to communicate faster and process faster executions.....

This is a standard capability of the OS unless you have turned off Disk
Caching on your system.
Whenever a file is written to disk it is not removed from main memory until
the OS needs memory for some other program or data and then it reuses the
memory that has not been used for the longest amount of time. So the more
system memory you have the larger the effective disk cache.

You don't increase PC speed with a PCI card. What do you mean by buffer
cache? This is also not a PCI issue. How about starting from scratch and
explain in detail what you want.
