When I upgraded to the Ryzen 7900 machines one of them kept its old id at Einstein and so inherited 850,000 credits. For the other two Ryzen 7900's I have been playing catch-up to get them up to the same number of credits. I've done that for the second machine, however the last one I built being more recent isn't there yet. Its up to 337k with over a hundred work units in pending status. Its been getting their Gamma-ray pulsar search #5 work. This is a good burn-in test for it.

I need to chase up the 96GB memory kit that I returned. The PC shop sent it back to the distributor a couple of weeks ago but I haven't heard anything further. The price for them is now 50% more than what I paid for it so I would really like a replacement rather than a store credit.

The other upgrade I am looking at currently is for the support node for the x86_64 machines. It a mATX based motherboard and doesn't need much in the way of memory and storage although will benefit from getting a couple of PCIe gen 4 slots.
