Not to be a jackass, but anybody have any info about doing the same thing for windows 98?

Is this my first chance to say "read the Wiki"?

I think it is ;)

Edit: I created a new video thats a little easier to understand

Yeah, found back my old PCI video card and installed it. Perfect ! Although even the WinXP bootscreen (the altered one) is not showing now, but I prefer this because now I do not get any BIOS screens. As with any brilliant idea: it's simple and works great !
DrewKaree:
It's my understanding that it doesn't even have to actually WORK, it just has to occupy the slot so that your PC continues to try to output to it while it's booting.  I could be wrong on this though, as I don't have a non-working PCI video card to test this out.
