With the release of patch 4.3.2 on the PTR Blizzard has given us a 64 bit client. This is not currently available for live servers. But may be available when 4.3.2 goes live. With that in mind it’s very simple to install.
You can download the 64 bit client here.
Unzip the files and drop all of them in your WOW folder. One of the files is named WoW-64.exe. Run that to start your game.
That’s it. Enjoy!
UPDATE (1/11/12) : The new 64 bit client doesn’t have a patcher with it yet, so everytime they release a patch you have to download a new 64 bit client manually. At least until they get it integrated into the patcher system.
