are any of the open source compilers able to compile into native 64 bit code? Id like to write a program that uses the 64 bit registers. I know VS 2005 will target native 64 bit code, but I need something for at home.

MinGW has 64-bit support in the most recent builds.
ok, then Dev-C++ should be able to produce 64 bit executable code, yes?
If you download the appropriate compiler from the MinGW site and install it where your dev-C++ IDE can see it, yes.
But I don't think the Dev-C++ interface offers a configuration option for it, so you'll have to do that yourself. (If the compiler requires an explicit switch to make it emit 64-bit code, that is.)
