Do you have a Windows 98 CD and product key?  If you have both, use the dvd of optiplex to install. Dell has driver for XP.  It may or may not work for 98, you can try.

I know one time I was messing with a Dell latitude and it had the same sound chip in it so I was like Intel ac97 under Windows 98 and it just worked that's cause I found out that adi chips are actually realtek ac97 chips under a different branding
