I have a U6SG-A1 and some weeks ago there were these updates called 304 and 404 from the ASUS live update program. Upon getting those I've noticed that now it takes substantially longer to load up windows. Anyone else experienced this?

I have no idea what those 304 and 404 mean. Are they BIOS updates by any chance? Those shouldn't under normal circumstances affect Windows loading speed. Are you sure it's not some other software or maybe Windows updates that got installed in the meantime, that are causing the problem?
Nevertheless, if you think it's the ASUS updates, and if they were indeed BIOS updates, you could try rolling back to the earlier version of the BIOS. You will find a guide in my signature. Only do this if you are positive it was a BIOS update that happened.
In any case I'd recommend removing ASUS Live Update, it's very buggy. -
They were indeed BIOS updates. I will turn off that horrid live update. "Don't fix what ain't broken as you said."

Well you just download the older BIOS, and use my EasyFlash path in the BIOS guide (or any other of the 2 paths, I give downgrade options for all 3).

I'd blame ASUS life update that runs at startup searching for new updates, connecting to remote server (may be more than once), requesting for 'news' and so on. I 'd not blame BIOS
-
Yeah, but LiveUpdate was running before the BIOS updates as well, and he didn't have the problem. So that contradicts the theory.
I suggest a good ol' bloatware cleanup (see my Vista Optimization guide, link in sig) together with a BIOS rollback. See if that fixes the problem.
U6S updates = slow boot times?
