I've glossed over a few diskless OBSD and LiveCD/USB sites here and there after a quick search; but am interested in the RAM loading option for speed (no need to wait for the Live CD/DVD to spin). Until I decide to install my next semi-permanent OS to my HDD, I'd like to try out a Live_on_RAM session (figure I can mount an USB to save files during the session) in OBSD, if possible.

I would recommend starting with the hardware that was used in your particular laptop and then looking at the supported hardware list for the OS you want to install.
You can go at this in several ways:
- Run a livecd/usb image and pull the dmesg list
- For OpenBSD you can install to a usb thumb drive and then boot from that drive
- Search the internet for your particular laptop name and model + OpenBSD/FreeBSD/NetBSD/linux.
- Current issues with OpenBSD are UEFI bootloaders, hybrid video cards and some wireless cards
