The maximium amount of memory that the Java runtime uses is not necessarily the physical memory of the machine. Rather, it is set at the command line with the -Xmx argument, e.g.: java -Xmx512 ucar.unidata.idv.DefaultIdv allows Java to allocate up to 512 megabytes. If you are running with the run.bat or run.sh script from installanywhere this should be set to 512M. Some imagery can have major impacts on memory usage. You might try to cange the -Xmx512 to -Xmx1024 and see if that fixes the problem. -Jeff McWhirter
