There is a PC-card to PCI expander by Magma http://www.magma.com that is tested by Digidesign and approved to run Protools on. I know that there was one guy running Pulsar on a laptop on the Creamware forum. This was on a Mac but it probably works on PC:s as well.
I have my doubts about the PCI performance of such a solution though. Pulsar is more PCI hungry than Protools as Protools has memory on the DSP cards and Pulsar has not. But if you don't run any reverbs it should work.

Magma expanders work, the only limitation will be how much data you can push through the PCI bus, we all know Pulsar loves to hog as much PCI as you feed it, so depending on your needs, it may work, or it may not give you enough throughput there.
