When I try to access my account information on Amazon.com, the page loads extremely slowly and finally shows mostly text with four or five errors. Activity log says "can't find host" for each of the errors. Tried reinstalling Safari 3.2.1, no help. Everything in Amazon works until I try to buy something or access my account information. Everything works normally on other websites and Amazon works normally on my Intel Macbook. Can anyone help?

Do you have this problem only when visiting Amazon.com?

Did you switch off cookies? There's a setting that "allow cookies only from sites that I navigate to, but not from advertisements on those sites". That's the setting you need for some sites, and possibly for Amazon.com.
