and I'd recommend either a 3dfx-based card or a GF 6. Nothing else is really worth a hassle. Comments such as 'may cause problems' remind me of the famous saying: "scientists have proven that...". Which scientists? Or better said, what problems? Where, in which game, with what application? GF6 is just superior in both 2D and 3D quality and supports new wide screens beautifully compared to older cards. I've never seen a game that works on GF4 and does not work on GF6 (I, personally, never played final fantasy, nor EAW).
of course you can go into it seriously, as i have indeed no evidence on whether problem A or B is caused by running geforce6 with windows98.
however, i always suggest to get away from potential issues as far as possible, maybe i have gone lazy after having enough pain in most recent years with win98, including frequent BSODs caused by terminating a program(IE6 for most of the time) that had stopped responding. i guess most people would agree that win98 is not an os known for its stability and memory management(if you don't than i shall not discuss this with you), the only thing we can do is trying to keep everything simple, including the damn drivers.
besides, geforce6 is a good card itself and i don't think there are many problems caused by it. however by the time of its release in 2004, most modern games utilizing its features would simply refuse to run on win98, making there no real point using it on a win98 rig.
