I'm using linuxcoin since I'm a newbie into this mining realm.  Anyways I'm running the polcbm (however you spell it) miner.  I have 2 6950's I get about 330 mhs out of them when they run alone, but when I start up my 2nd one (the one the monitor isn't hooked up to).  It will jump around alot going from 330 to 300 to 150 to 250.   But when I stop my first card, it'll just jump up and do steady 330 mh/s. 
Any Ideas? I am new to linux but I've learned alot in one day.
Go easy on me.

Thanks

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

Did you specify differing devices?

apparently the -f flag was the culprit.  now both cards doing about 330 mhs.  Time for me to go to bed. 

Thanks for responding.
