After years of crunching Pilot breached 1,000,000 credits on May 31, 2013. It may not be entirely accurate though as Libra, her predecessor is unaccounted for- as is the unnamed computer that crunched on SETI to begin with. Still, Pilot was the one that breached this milestone marker.
That said, Scout has surpassed them all. In the short amount of time since he arrived- Scout has impressed with BOINC. He began crunching on or before Jul 16, 2013. Since then the total combined credits has jumped to 1,487,740.78. He is expected to reach 1.5 million in less than 5 days. So far, his best project appears to be Moo! Wrapper.
Pilot might come out of retirement after I complete the necessary maintenance that she needs. Her DVD-CD Rom needs to be replaced and her OS needs to be reinstalled. It'll be a few more months before I can do this.
The tech crew at DakotaPC Warehouse recommends upgrading her to at least Win7 as XP is being phased out of servicing. That's okay by me, I can reinstall the OS when necessary. Pilot was built of Windows XP. And aside from one feature, the task bar (which is also in older versions of Office as a Word add-on) I really don't care for Win7.
Anyway- Scout is projected to reach 1,500,000 credits on 12 / 22 / 2013
3.19 days and counting!

Target (100,000,000) will be reached in 1.72 days on 12 24 2013. Merry Christmas to me!
Not bad for turning BOINC off on my big quad and laptop. Only running it on my garage PC and my dad's work PC. Of course, my garage PC does have a nice GPU that is racking in the points. Maybe I'll turn back on the GPU on my quad too.
I calculated it on the BOINCStats site. Assuming that I don't return Pilot to crunching or get another computer-
If Scout keeps his pace he should pass 2,000,000 credits on or about 10-16-2020.

I'd be willing to bet that it'll happen before then. After all, Scout's a determined machine and more powerful than Pilot.
And we are talking November 2020. That's 6 years and 7 months away.
On 7-16-2014 Scout's 1 year anniversary he should reach 1,597,741 Credits

Mark this day folks- Scout hit and passed 2,000,000 credits this afternoon. Current total combined count on all computers and projects = 2,000,265 credits. Scout still needs to make his own 1st true 1 million and that'll come in time.

Scout is projected to hit 1,000,000 on Moo! Wrapper in 30 days, on 6 18 2015
Like with the combined total of 2 million, he still shares this with Pilot ( just her in this one though ).
Pilot's share on Moo! Wrapper is 56,336 credits. She's been down for a while so I packed her away. If things work out as planned, I anticipate having her back some time after Sept. Whether she'll be crunching or not is another story.
Scout's proven to be a trooper- and seems to like Moo! Wrapper most of all.

And he's done it!!! Scout has passed 1 million on Moo!Wrapper. It came later than originally predicted because I added a new project for him to crunch.

Taking a break from Citizen Science Grid to focus on SETI. The goal is to break 1,000,000 on this project. Current credit is 67,841.22. Right now, I don't know how long it'll take- BOINCstats tells me 'target cannot be reached'- I guess the site is having issues. :: shrug :: So, onwards and upwards- SETI to 1,000,000- however long it takes.

Well, I pulled the GTX-760 from Exeter a few months back. Exeter is now long since retired. Believe it or not, the GTX-760 STILL has Warranty through EVGA - through 2024. (Paid extra for that!)
New Hackintosh-Andromeda has a MacVidCards' GTX-1070 8GB GDDR5 VRAM Card as Primary GPU, and an EVGA GTX-1050 2GB GDDR5 VRAM Card as Secondary GPU. Both these Cards are Crunching SETI on TBar's CUDA90 App.
Daedalus, (Mid-2010 Mac Pro 5,1), has a Mac Flashed GTX-970 4GB GDDR5 VRAM Card as Primary GPU, and an EVGA GTX-1050 2GB Card as Secondary GPU. Daedalus also makes use of TBar's CUDA90 App for SETI. UNFORTUNATELY, due to the power hungry Dual Xeon 2.4GHz CPUs, AND the power hungry GTX-970, I've had to scale back Crunching on Daedalus. IF she Crunches with Andromeda, the Power Bill CAN hit $500, (PG&E California rates!!!) So, right now ONLY Andromeda Crunches regularly.
Since running the newer Cards in Andromeda, I've managed to break 23 Million SETI Credits!
Andromeda ONLY Crunches from 6PM to 9AM, nightly. (Again, to help conserve on the PG&E Bill.) Also got the parents qualified to receive "Medical Baseline Assistance" from PG&E due to medical equipment they both use. This has cut the Bill in half!
