Yes, it is possible. If you have a small, unused SSD (32-64GB) lying around, you can connect it to alternate SATA port on your system and use in in conjunction with software caching solutions like Microsoft's Windows ReadyBoost or Intel's SRT (Smart Response Technology).
The best solution, of course (performance wise, that is), is using a dedicated SSD as a main operating system startup drive. That is especially true in the case of larger (128GB+) SSDs.

thanks gorskie for quick reply, you mean to say, it will increase system performance but system wouldn't be as fast as by using ssd stand alone with out using in combination of simple mechanical hard disk. ????

Exactly.
SSD+HDD caching solutions only boost storage performance, never reaching SSD's true potential. HDD will always bog the companion SSD down.
