Hey Daniel, I've been playing around with OpenBSD amd64 on a Gigabyte GA-MA78GPM-DS2H (which is a similar chipset, but not identical) using a Phenom X3.
Everything seems to work fairly well. Video works with radeonhd. The on-board azalia works well, but seems a bit noisy (obviously not a OpenBSD problem). The on-board re NIC works fine. AHCI works well on the southbridge, but I was having problems getting hotpluging working with my eSATA drive -- I couldn't manage to reset the bus to detect the new drive without a reboot. Otherwise the system board seems to work fairly well. Feel free to shoot me a message if you have any other questions.
