I might suggest WCG (World Community Grid) then. It can be run either through it's original program or through Boinc.
It's easiest to install and run it through it's original program first, and you can switch to Boinc later if you'd like.
Read about the project
here. It's been running for about a year, so it's fairly new, but old enough to have most of the kinks worked out.
You can run Human Proteome, and/or Fight Aids @Home.
I believe there may be another project added in the near future (Africa @ Home). You can choose to any or all.
Download the program, and someone will need to start a team for AOA, if we choose this project.
We can then request to have our team added to the stats at Free-DC.
