There are a number of tools which provide this sort of
functionality. The closest to what you are asking for is globalff.el;
it uses the locate command to search your file system giving feedback
on appropriate files as you type. 

I, personally, use ido.el. This doesn't do what you are asking for,
but allows you to navigate directories so quickly that it's good
enough. Or find-dired which does what you want, but it slower than
globalff.el, but doesn't need a precomputed database and is part of
standard emacs. Or recentf, which stores recently open files. As does
ECB, which does lots of other things as well. 

So many options...
