Multiple soundcards usually have to use word clock or some proprietary method of syncing the cards. Usually one card will be the master and the others slaves. I know you can put up to 4 ST Audio DSP24 cards in one system and set one up as master. I believe the same is true for the M-Audio Delta 1010.
As for having a bad timer on a system, I've worked a lot with realtime systems and sometimes you just get a lemon.
