Dear Friends,

I own a kindle 3 which I bought 2 years ago. It was damaged recently and it's out of warranty period. Yesterday, I bought a used Kindle DXG from a friend, which was only 6 months old and it's brand new.

Now, I read on this forum about installing 3.1 firmware on Kindle DXG and there were few users who reported that Kindle DXG RAM is only 128 MB while Kindle 3 RAM is 256 MB.

Please help me to understand, if this is possible: To replace 128 MB RAM of Kindle DXG with 256 RAM of Kindle 3 and then upgrade it to 3.1 firmware. How should one do it and Will that have any adverse effect on battery.

Thank you so much.
