Finally I can do it. I need some sugestions though on add-ons and just general stuff. I am doing a warrior prest combo. omg I am so happy I can do this, but with the 3.0.2 add-ons are all messed up and im on vista.

some people recommend twoboxtoolkit as it does have a few nice features.

All Ace addons are now being supported and hosted by Curse. I use wowmatrix to update all my addons, its searches curse, wowinterface, ace (even tho they are on curse now) for all updates. Only problem I have had is patch day and a few days afterward due to the massive amount of bandwidth being used on all the sites.

One addon I highly recommend is Jamba. Its essentially a one stop shop for all your multiboxing needs. It can be found in the macros/addons section of the forum. Its supported very well by the author, and open for suggestions. Check it out.

Beyond that, addons are up to your preference and playstyle.

Forgot to ask this to, any good macros? I'm specifily looking for one that canceled target, basicly oposite than /target *name* or just give me a bunch of /cast *spell* 'self' or how ever it works.

What do you guys think of this?
I wanted to do bongos on both characters aso they can have there own action bar, so have 1 as regular be warrior then Shift + or wich ever be the preists. so they can all have 12 skills.

Best thing is keybinding your normal spells instead of using action bars for everything. Reaction times are faster with keybind because you are working off memory instead of hunting for a spell on an action bar.
Generally I only use bars for displaying cooldowns so I can quickly reference them. A different bar mod you may want to check out is Macaroon. It allows you to write macros and keybind them right on the bar instead of using multiple interface panes to try and do that.

Well what I was going for is use bongos to make it 1-= as warrior then the same bar on priest be Shift1-Sifht= so I have a more variety to each other spells. And the macro section is a another language to me don't get any of it :P
