Murag wa may ingana bai. Best option nimo kay magDOS BOX ka then Turbo C imo magamit. Or mag-partition kas pc nimo ug 32 bit. Pwede pud magVMWare kung okay2 ra imong pc. :>

There is such a thing, if you prefer MS - go and download Visual Studio Express, it has a free 64 compiler.

If you're willing to go open source, download MinGW with GNU C/C++, you'll just have to compile your programs with the -m64 flag.

Actually im using Dev-C++ which is compatible with 64-bit windows but it is way too outdated.. Its last stable release was about 7 years ago. I also use CodeBlocks but i dont like it, hasol ayo pag himu bag.o file. Maybe naa moi nahibaw.an other alternatives?

I thought you were looking for a compiler, not a code editor.

For code editors, you can use NetBeans IDE, its Java, but you can download the C++ plugin and specify your own compiler in the settings. I work mostly with the command line since my work is more on low-level firmware and device drivers, I only need to use an IDE for doing GUI stuff, most of the time I use Vi/Vim.

The best C/C++ compiler for 64 bit Windows out there for me has to be the Intel C++ compiler (Intel Compilers from Intel - Intel® Software Network) , but its pricey. Its got integrated IPP (Performance Primitives), Threading Blocks, etc. I'm not advertising, but the one thing that separates Intel from all other compilers out there is the optimized library, I've use intel for Fast Fourier Transforms since its already integrated in the Math Kernel Library.

Opps.. IDE+Compiler i mean..
