    I'm excited to start crunching, what's a good project to start?

    For a CPU, AndrOINC pays well and for a GPU it depends on what card you have. ATI cards do well with MW and DNETC, and Nvidia cards do well with PG if my info is correct.

    Good advice if your goal is best credits. However, some people have other goals like helping out a particular branch of science. A bit more info from the OP would help.

    Joker is absolutely right if you want to maximize your credit output. I would suggest that to get your feet wet, pick out a project or two where the science interests you and start there. A decent list of projects can be found here.

    Welcome, and keep asking questions!

    You guys forgot to suggest WUProp@Home. It runs along side other projects since it uses almost no CPU resources.
