I've heard similar talk, although someone said you need to install the mod first in order to flash the bios and then take the mod out again?!

yes you need to mod the xbox in order to flash the bios. once the bios is flashed, then you can remove the chip. It would make more sense to just buy a mod that is flash upgradeable that way you can flash upgrade the chip bios and not have to worry about messing up the xbox bios.

You can reflash the onboard bios also. Once you have used the above method, the onbaord bios acts just like the mod chip bios, thus allowing you to flash it as you please. You just have to make sure you dont flash it back to the original MS bios or your stuck with a normal retail unit again. Meaning you would have re-install a mod and go through the flashing process.
