I use airport (not airport express), still running 10.3 on this iBook.
I don't think it has to do with b/g (and probably n) networks, network cards, or with individual CPUs.

(Caveat, I'm not an expert; but...) I think it's that somewhere in the TCP/IP routines OS X and particularly Safari don't like to be involuntarily rerouted by some wifi network's proxies.
