I'm pretty sure the AMD 780G/SB700 works with Opensolaris in AHCI
mode. There may be a few 780G/SB600 boards, so make sure you check.
I'm not sure how well the integrated video works. The chipset combined
with a 45W CPU should have low power draw. The SB700 can handle up to
6 SATA ports.

Be wary of the SB600 - There's a DMA issue with the controller when
using more than 2GB memory.

There are a lot of 780G boards available in all sorts of form factors
from almost every manufacturer.

2GB or more of ECC should do it. I believe all the AMD CPUs support
ECC, but you should verify this before buying.
