You want that to be at least 4, assuming you would like to run all four cores. This value can be overridden locally on a machine in the preferences. If these are both set to 4, and you have completed an update to the project, then review the list of tasks in the Advanced view of the BOINC Manager. What is the status shown for the tasks? Are any "waiting for memory"? Looking at your quad, it looks like it got a few errors on the first few tasks, and that no others have been reported back yet. Reporting the results is a two step process. First "uploading", and then "report". BOINC will take care of this automatically, but if you have some tasks "waiting to report", you can complete the process by doing an update to the project from the Advanced View's projects tab.

See the Number Crunching board where there is always a "sticky" thread called "problems with ..." for each Rosetta version (which is shown in the result page at the bottom).
