Yes, but just because a program has been compiled as 64-bit doesn't mean it is using 64-bit addresses. I think that is what SDPhantom was implying; unless WoW has been coded twice - once for 32-bit and once for 64-bit - there can't be much of a performance increase, just 64-bit registers holding 32-bit addresses.
