You have to run to instances of the BOINC manager, one dedicated to each card. I'm sure someone will be along soon with the correct tags to put in each of the app_info files.
I think you will find that the two instances have to be installed in separate data directories otherwise things could get very messy.

If you are not needing anything better than the 640 for your graphics output then don't use it at all for crunching, but let it just supply your video output. If not then I'd really suggest you pull it out as the performance difference compared to the 670 could cause other problems.

Cheers.
