I have it (boinc_5.2.13_windows_intelx86.exe) running on my P4-3.06GHZ 
desktop and the Message tab shows that it sees 2 CPU's.
However Windows Task Manager / Processes, shows that BOINC is using 49% of 
CPU power and System Idle Process is using 49%  of CPU power.

Do I need some 3rd party software (the equivalent of Seti Driver) to  make 
BOINC run as 2 processes and use virtually all the resources when nothing 
else is happening?

Thanks !

You should see two setiathome running in task manager plus boinc and
boinc manager and 2 windows in performance cpu usage, both at 100%.
If you don't have two windows in performance, running seti or not, HT
is not turned on. The two setiathome should be 50% + 50% and not
boinc. You don't need additional software.
Check your seti preferences(user account) to see if 2 cpu's are used.
