    So should I buy a 2x2GB set for my P6831FX or just buy one 2 GB stick to upgrade to 4 GB? Is there an advantage of buying the match set?

    You are fine so long as you somewhat match the original stick. IE if the original is SODIMM DDR2 800 cas 5 then get another stick rated the same............
