How to create windows XP image with executables and load it into various computers?

I would like to check whether it is possible to create an image that contains all the standard executables (CD/DVD writing software, adobe reader, winrar, windows live messenger or yahoo messenger, antivirus and antispyware).

To do the image I can use Ghost but the problem is that I would like to load this image into computers that have different specs. Some are via, others intel, others sis....

Do you think that if I create three different images for each chipset and then load that particular image, I would be able to have a good OS?

Would an image created on a P4 intel chipset mainboard work on another P4 intel chipset mainboard from a different manufacturer?

Thanks.

"If you want to roll out applications at the same time that you roll out the operating system, you can include the applications on the disk image. For example, if your organization鈥檚 standard computer configuration includes an antivirus program, an e-mail program, and an office suite, you could install and configure these programs on the master installation so that the disk image includes these programs."

With nlite you can deploy some programs - see list :
