Hey guys, I got a new computer with 32 GB ram, which is new to me, how can I use this during renders? What should I increase tile size to? This is now my primary rendering machine where I live, so it will be going constantly, I'd like to use everything it has.

Specs.
32 GB DDR3 clocked at 1600 Mhz.
Xeon 2620 2.0 Ghz, 6 cores, hyper threaded, with ECC.
ASUS HD 7850
That's all that really matters in this build (I'm keeping it really cold though with some water cooling).

I'd play with the Ray Tracing Accelerator options under “Render” in Mantra, and increase KD-Tree memory factor. This will mantra to use more Ram during raytracing.

I have 24GB and honestly it doesn't make for much faster rendering. I've found that it helps rendering scenes with more textures and at a larger sized output.

The thing with memory is that when you have enough, you don't really notice its effect. It's only when you don't have enough that you'll realize how much you need it

I certainly struggled with 8.

I had 12GB for a while, but could easily max it out with Houdini. Especially when cooking simulations.

It's main improvements will be FLIP.
