How to install x86 drivers on Windows 7 x64?

Question

Windows

Good afternoon. There is a PCI board, which was produced by mammoths back in some year. There are drivers for it that work successfully under Windows 7 x86. The system in which it currently uses the available 4 GB of RAM eats with a bang and persistently requires supplements, which inevitably requires x64 installation. The system works 24/7 and turn off all this goodness in order to conduct all the experiments that I find on the Internet, there is no possibility, they give a maximum of half an hour a day, so I ask knowledgeable people to express their opinion, preferably tested in practice, about this problem. Is there any way to cheat the system?
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

A driver is a program that provides access to a specific operating system to specific hardware.
They write a driver for the operating system, taking into account all its features and requirements.
Different system - different driver.

Is there any way to cheat the system?

Of course you can - put the driver forcibly and that's it.
The system will try to give commands to the driver, it will not understand them, and the device will not work.

The system in which it is currently used consumes the available 4 GB of RAM with a bang

Well, I doubt very much that the system eats so much, especially when it comes to win7 x32.
The application software eats your memory, not the system.

Answer 2

You will also decide how memory is consumed, perhaps switching to a server version of Windows where more memory is supported will help you (I repeat here it is important to understand exactly how memory is consumed, if one process survives more than 4GB and falls, then this solution will not work for you)

Answer 3

You can flash windows7/8/10 (32-bit) and 8/16 gig of RAM, and then force windows to see all this memory using the so-called "PAE patch" . Now there are two working versions:
• PatchPae2
• PatchPae3
For independent study of the issue, google "remove the limit of 4 GB of memory".

Answer 4

In general, thank you all. I had to quickly get out of the situation, so I deployed the main system on x64, and installed the board on the existing XP x86 and, using the software capabilities, connected it via the COM port to the main system. I will think further. Two people work with a bunch of monitors, mice, keyboards, acoustics, during peak hours it is very difficult to work on 4 PCs at the same time, the capabilities of software and hardware as a whole allow all this to be reduced to a normal workplace from one PC, but such nuances arise.
