Bastien has already answered your question:

M-x customize-variable RET split-window-preferred-function RET

and select the value "horizontally".

I don't know where the docstring he quoted is from because this option seems to
only be in Emacs 23.0.60 in the CVS repository and will not be part of the next
release (22.2).
