I think I've said it before on this list or another, but I've have not
experienced any problems with the PERC3 or PERC4 controllers on our Dell
PowerEdge 1650, 1750, 2600, and 2650 machines.  All but three of our servers
are running RHEL 3 including ten 1750 servers.  Previously these same
machines ran RHEL 2.1.  Aside from the fact that RHEL 2.1 did not support
the PERC out of the box (needed to use a driver disk from Red Hat during
install) everything has been fine.
