Romano,
The only "advantage" of having the original M$ Bios on the chip is if you want to go on Xbox Live. If you use anything other than the Original bios on Xbox Live M$oft will ban you.
To Summarise:
If you use you Box as a standalone games machine there is NO advantage of having the Original M$ Bios. If you use Xbox Live then you need the Original Bios to go there.

Thank for yours answer
Flashed Xbox bios onboard is only solution to use MS live and just switch to ms dashboard and insert orginal cd to go online?

No sadly, you need to boot with an original Xbox bios in the chip, so everything is running as a legit Xbox if you need to go on live.
