This is from RHEL5 - it's the driver that comes built-in:
[root@serv1 ~]# modinfo 3w-9xxx filename: /lib/modules/2.6.18-8.el5/kernel/drivers/scsi/3w-9xxx.ko version: 2.26.02.007 license: GPL description: 3ware 9000 Storage Controller Linux Driver author: AMCC srcversion: 029473DD729D96D687985E4 alias: pci:v000013C1d00001003sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000013C1d00001002sv*sd*bc*sc*i* depends: scsi_mod vermagic: 2.6.18-8.el5 SMP mod_unload 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-4.1
The overall responsiveness of the system under benchmarking when running RHEL5 is somewhat better than that when running CentOS 4.5.
