I'm new to the embedded development world and am looking to get my very first board.

After some research, I realize that there aren't many choices with FPUs. This is important in my project as I'm going to be doing quite a bit of floating point computations.

I found the Mini2440 which seems to run on the ARM920T core. This particular unit is perfect for my needs (decent price, all the right I/O ports, and a touch screen to boot) but it seems that it doesn't have an FPU. I don't know how big of a penalty I'd be paying for FP emulation, so I'm unsure of whether to pull the trigger on this one.

That said:

Can someone please confirm whether this product (Mini2440) has an FPU or not?
My project will do image capture and analysis. Does anyone have any experience with running things like OpenMP on such platforms?
Please suggest any other similar boards in the = $200 price range that have an FPU.
This world is new to me. Any other advice or things I should be aware of is much appreciated.
