Is there anyway to split my monitor into 2 monitors, so use half the monitor for messenger, and half on something else. Btw, im on vista

You can stretch it, clone it or have it as dual screens, provided your graphics card has two DVI/VGA ports. Plug two monitors in and look in the graphics card drivers for dual monitor options.

Just don't maximize all your windows?

How do i look at these, i have an nVIDIA 7300GT or GS

To make two out of 1 ehhhhhm.....

..... use an axe (an axe is ment for splitting)

Anyways seriously: as MenthiX already said don't maximize your application windows...resize them and place them where you like.

Note to complete :

This might sound dull to someone who knows it (everyone laughed at me in class when I said "WOW"), but there is an automatic way to do it in windows.

Open the windows you want opened (example MSN and Firefox) keep them on the desktop (aka do not minimize them) then right click on your taskbar and chose "******* Horizontally" or "****** Vertically"

I think the ********** word is cascade, but I'm at the office and the windows version is in french here so.. yeah, I hope that helps.

cacade windows would put them one behind the other, but yeah, the word is "tile" windows either horizontally or vertically, which will do exactly what it says on the tin: lay them out like tiles

You can just Ctrl+Click the windows you want tiled in the taskbar (to select multiple windows) then right click > Tile Vertically/Horizontally.
