Matt,
If the Motherboard and Chipset do not support Win98, it's doubtful you'll get this
dualboot to work. Win98 Will not have drivers for the Hardware on your MOBO and NO
Chipset Drivers will be available for Win98.
To Dualboot Win98 and any NT OS, Win98 needs to be installed first, then the Newer
OS. It can be done the other way around but it's more difficult even if the MOBO
supports both OS's.
You might be able to Run Win98 as Virtual Machine, using some sort of VMWare.
Some info at this link.

Then there's the 64 Bit MOBO?????
