Just use 64-bit OS. Luckily, there's no FPU in x86-64, it's gone together with MMX.

That's not true.

They're still there, but there are just better replacements for both of them. The only situation where this might be true is if bit 29 of CPUID 0x80000001 is not set, in which case you can't use MMX in long mode.

x87 is always there.
