[IDV #OGW-900609]: Save images on a X86_64 (Xeon)

Hi Patrick-

The downloads section for the nightly build now has a Linux 64 bit
installer.  You can access that from

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/idv/nightly

You can change the amount of memory allocated to the IDV by
editing the runIDV script.  See more information here:
