Time for a new version of Ghost?

Well, I've just ordered a new computer...but it still is going to be running XP Pro....so, my question is:
do I keep using Ghost 2003....or is it advisable to use a newer version of Ghost?
My new computer will have two internal HDs + 1 external e Sata drive. My intent is make a Ghost image of the 3 drives onto an external USB HD (which is my current workflow...but only I'm only backing up the "c" drive on my existing computer)
And finally....is the idea of (maybe) eventually upgrading/downgrading to Vista a big "no no" in the world of Ghost?
What do you all recommend? What should I be aware/afraid of?
thanks in advance, G_man

Personally? I don't see your problem.
If you're using Ghost 2003, Build 793, it should work just fine for you on the new PC.
I use it from a boot disk, to backup my XP on SATA2 drives and Vista Ultimate on a SATA2 drive. I have no problems at all.
But, don't try to use a build that is less than 793.
Cheers mate!

What’s new in Symantec Ghost
Symantec Ghost 11.5 includes the following features:
Both the console, and the standard tools include WinPE 2.0 in
addition to PC-DOS. This greatly improves hardware compatibility.
WinPE PreOS Support
The new hardware-independent imaging feature allows a single
image to be deployed to diverse hardware, and obtain the necessary
drivers from a centrally managed driver database.
DeployAnywhere
Images may be created hot, using Volume Snapshot, from both
the Ghost Console and the standard tools.
Hot Imaging
The Console has a task to perform the secure erase of a computer
for decommissioning, or prior to re-imaging.
Machine Erase
VMDK virtual disk, Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery (V2I)
and Symantec Deploy Center (PQI) images can be deployed directly
from the Console and from Ghost.
Support for VMDK and
V2i/PQI images
Native Linux versions of the Ghost executable and standard tools
are provided, along with a bundled Linux distribution (ThinStation)
for use when creating boot packages.
Native Linux versions
of Ghost tools
You can specify the order in which to perform file transfer,
command execute and AI package deployment task steps in the
Ghost Console. The ability to transfer folders to clients, retrieve
files from clients, and obtain return codes when running command
actions is also provided.
New Software and File
Actions Interface
The interface for creating sysprep unattend files has been
improved.

Interface
