What are the advantages of swapping the 68LC040 processor for a full 68040?
Few applications make use of the FPU, for example DraftBoard, TScript, Mathematica. Some of them work just slower, if the FPU is not present (like TScript). Some do not work at all (like DraftBoard). Some come in different flavours to be installed for use w/wo FPU. To run applications that need a FPU in many cases the software SoftFPU helps (as already mentioned). Some applications do not like the emulated FPU and will even with softFPU refuse to work, as DraftBoard.
