One problem problem with w98 is that it has problems with modern amounts of 
memory. I have a similar w98/freebsd dual-boot  with AMD64 2.8G and 1.5 GB of 
ram, and I have to limit Windows to 1GB of memory or it wont boot. That's not 
a major loss, but it may be neccessary to remove a stick when reinstalling.  

One point about the AMD 64. At the moment I'm running the i386 version of 
FreeBSD, because it's generally better supported. I think it's worth checking 
the amd64 mailing list for compatibility problems so you can keep your 
options open - particularly as you are keeping the hardware for a long time.
