don't waste your money on the opteron 185. I blew my k8n neo 4 platinum trying to upgrade from fx55 to opteron 180. Just use the fx55 at 2.8 until you start having problems and do a complete upgrade. If you're lucky you'll be able to hold out until nehalem...I wish I had been disciplined enough to do that.

I paid ~$800 each for two 4800+ x2's last january.
However I upgraded one to an e6850 last month and believe this time atleast I timed my upgrade much better.

the game rig has an FX60 - i started out with an opteron 170 and had it up to 3.0GHz running 2.2.2.5 1T; the FX 60 is 3.06GHz at 2.2.2.5 1T
wanna know the truth? my old i850 3.06 hyper threading Northwood using Rambus memory feels faster which i bought in 01 (RDR memory)
