In general, every of the projects should be enabled to run on BOINCpe. However, it depends on your individual hardware. The least powerful configuration (256 MB of RAM = 128 MB RAM Disk + 128 MB remaining memory) will already enable you to run a number of the most popular BOINC projects including SETI@Home, SIMAP@Home, Einstein@Home, and LHC@Home. Please note that this list is not extensive. There might be other projects that can be run on a low-end computer using BOINCpe. You can check the following requirements table for the most common BOINC projects at the BOINC Wiki. The columns for Memory and Disk Space requirements are of particular interest for you. You can check them against your system’s resources to determine which projects are suitable for your individual host.
