Donate Your Computing Power

The title says it all.

Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing

BOINC lets you donate your computing power to scientific research projects.

The programme taps into the unused resources of your computer for calculations of the projects. In general, there will be no lag or what so ever problem running it. I have been running it since Year 03.

Why not contribute to a better world while you are playing computer games, surfing the net or just booting up the computer for no particular reason? At least, well, different projects have their own unique pretty graphics.
