What would an Opty 180 and 185 equal in 939?

I'm looking for a dual core upgrade for a socket 939 board.

NO, I do NOT have enough money for a C2D at this time. I really REALLY want one, but don't think I can afford it for awhile.

My question if an Opty 180 = a 4600+ and if a 185=FX60. I've been looking at benchmarks but don't see anything comparing the Opterons in games and such.

My current processor is a 3800+ single core.

Any thoughts?

Yes, the performance is the same for equally clocked Opterons / X2s, and Opterons tend to overclock better, too.
