Intel G33 integrated Graphics drivers...for Windows 98?!!?

I am dual booting 98 / XP on a brand new HP Compaq dx2400 microtower that was essentially designed for Vista. Windows 98 is critical and cannot be avoided. Intel of course doesn't have win98 drivers posted for this chipset, but I am hoping that something exists. I found an INF update that installed a few things, but there is still a great deal missing.

I need graphics drivers installed so I can get this thing out of 640x480. Also the ICH9 SMBus drivers and some USB functionality will not work. At minimum I am hoping to just get a functional graphics driver for the G33 integrated (GMA 3100) graphics chipset. If anyone can get ICH9 updates for this situation would be greatly appreciated as well.

I can't seem to attach the ZIP file -- it keeps saying the file extension is not allowed (which ZIP files are allowed...) Here's a link to the file directly to download:

Nothing more to add here about the actual issue, but for Justin's information regarding the upload of *.zip files here. Yes, you can upload *.zip files, but ONLY if the CONTENTS are not amongst the disallowed list. It seems nonsensical I know, so the usual workaround is to rename the files inside the *.zip file to the *.txt extension for uploading, and post instructions to rename them back to the correct file extension. More bother than it's worth when you have a live link elsewhere.
