Thanks to Mackey D for pointing me in the direction of this article over at Half-Life2.net.
The following snippets of information were gained from emails sent from halflife2.net community members to Gabe Newell at Valve Software. Some emails have been edited to correct spelling or grammatical mistakes. No information has been edited. Will Half-Life 2 have any special optimizations for 64-bit processors?
Gabe Newell: I would expect we would run about 30% faster clock for clock comparing an Athlon running 32-bit code and an Athlon 64 running 64-bit code. Release of the 64-bit client will be gated on MS releasing 64-bit Windows.
You can check out the rest of the article Here! It's well worth the Read.
