You should go ahead and install the IDV locally. Here is the latest release:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/idv/current/index.jsp


To increase the default memory see the FAQ:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/IDV/docs/userguide/Faq.html#memory

There are a number of suggestions for handling larger data sets here:

The nightly build:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/idv/nightly/index.jsp
includes some memory leak fixes that are not in the regular release.
We will be putting out a more stable release next week.

What are you trying to do that is consuming so much memory?
