The base CBX Personal uses the exact same compiler as C++ Builder 6. There
is an update on Borland's site for installing the new 6.0 version of the
compiler for CBX. However I honestly don't feel that Borland is working on
C++ any more and would not be surprised if they just dropped the product
instead of letting it die a slow death.
