you could install softFPU so the software thinks there is a FPU there so it wont freak out. before i bought my full 040 cpu for my P475 i ran softFPU and was able to run stuff that required a FPU , granted it ran slower than it would normally with the full FPU but nothing ever freaked out on me that required one

Adding compatability is always nice, but in this case I question whether it is worth it. It kind of defeats the purpose of having an FPU, which is to generally speed things up, if you are running the FPU functions in software, which is slow. Full 040's can be bought with pocket change these days, so it is no longer cost effective to go with a software solution, even if you can get it free due to the lost productivity if this machine is intended to be a daily user.
