Hi Randy-

> Ok...I can try this.

Again, it's going to be compute intensive.  Using staggered grids adds 
a 2-3 times memory overhead and resampling will be painfully slow.

> I am trying to visualize 1250x1250x1250 grids and it just doesn't work.

Yes, the IDV is 100% java.  We haven't looked at the 64-bit Java
in detail.
