I have two systems almost identical to yours. I've never had any problems with a clean win 98 install. Do not use the bus master drivers that come on the Abit CD-ROM. Let Win98 install it's own. I'd pull some stuff out and get the OS loaded and then add the equipment back. You also need to set the system back to 300 MHz for the install. I've heard of several people who couldn't install because of the overclocking.
