Attribute tables and 32-bit floating point rasters.

I am currently working on a project that I need to determine the number of values in a raster over a certain threshold.  The only way I can think of doing this is by creating an attribute table for the raster that I'm analyzing and selecting the values over the threshold allowing me to collect a count of the values.  Is there some way to around the 32-bit/floating point restriction, or another tool that anyone has worked with that would allow for the counting of values?

If anyone could help me out, I would be most grateful.

I would consider using the Reclassify tool on the floating point raster and then select the class break as your desired selection.  The resulting raster should have the pixels that are above the value.  While the values will be different the attribute table created could be used to total the number of pixels in your class.  Be sure your raster has statistics and a histogram created for the classify button to work in the tool. Without the statistics and histogram, the classify button will not seem to do anything.
