I got it FIXED!!!!
It turns out that I had some really crappy memory. When I got some new memory, everything was as smooth as silk.
I have Win2kPro installed on it, my GeForce 3 and SB Live! cards are working well. AND I am loading T2 as I type this on my Win98 machine.
Woohoo!
Now I'll need to see how fast I can make this baby go!
