Sylvain Carette wrote a lot of words but not too many facts:

You never gave us any specs of your system (not that I could do
anything with it, but I know of some people who might get
interested in helping you if you provided some more technical
infos). Before you blame IDL for not being able to do what you
want, you may want to assure yourself that it is not a hardware
problem or a problem with your window manager/X server or
whatever that you are running into. IDL is definitively capable
of handling huge arrays, but it can't display things that your
window manager doesn't like to display. Example: on my Linux PC
with 1GB memory, I am able to create four arrays as
test1=lindgen(10000L,10000L)
test2=lindgen(10000L,10000L)
etc.
this gives a total of 1.2 GB (and surely doesn't fly), but IDL
still works.

Please note: for some projects, selling a piano is not enough.
What you really seem to be in need of is a solid buisiness model.
