So, I can't do high precision computation with fpc even if the native hardware permits such computations. I'm glued to XP as the full capabilities of the FPU were on the hands of programmers, years ago.
Please note that this is only true for the 64-bit variants of Windows with 64-bit software. 32-bit software on those systems can use the FPU without any problems (in fact even 64-bit software can, but since Microsoft declared it as deprecated for the 64-bit mode it might happen in the future that it is no longer supported).
